You can buy complete panels for less than a dollar a watt. They are already dirt cheap.
You can invest in a diy system for about 10k for an average house and you will never have another electric bill.
They charge about 20 to install.
I priced them already.
Batteries are a different story. Life of batteries are pretty short except for “Edison” batteries and those are really expensive and heavy as shit. No “free shipping” on those
And you are correct about the wind as back up. We just went through more than a week with no power. Need a gigantic battery bank to run a house for a week without recharge.
You need a secondary backup. Always have a gas engine ready to roll out and plug in. A 3k - 5k genset is fairly inexpensive and most come with an RV plug which you can setup as an input to your house's electric system.
