Here on our Greek island we get occasional power cuts - especially in lightning season. So I spent a little under 2000 Euros on the bits to install a minimal solar power system. When new, it could keep my computers and a few lights running for up to ten hours. Now, 11 years later, I need to spend 1000 on new batteries.
If we had frequent, lengthy power cuts, I'd definitely expand the system. Luckily we don't (so far).
