This is something I've been considering. Not because of "green energy" or "climate change" nonsense, but because of the expected rise in energy costs and probable power grid outage.
I'm sure there are people in this community that have done extensive research about this and I'm humbly asking for opinions from anons about this.
Thanks.
Solar can be reasonable if you aren't heating or cooling. Lights, charging cellphones, and operating computers are all doable on the cheap.
In the Philippines, they use 4-8 watt lightbulbs. Not bright and cheery, but enough to get by.
Also, new tech for both battery and solar panels is coming out. Get what you NEED and keep expectations realistic.
