We have an off-grid place with 5 Kw of solar power. The electrical system is great, when there's sun. In the wintertime? Yes, when there's sun, and the panels are not covered in snow. With prolonged lack of sun, then the batteries will run low, then the generator has to be powered up, or we just shut down the electricity.
You know, you won't die with no electricity. The wood stove doesn't need electricity, and the fridge runs on just a trickle of propane.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement for solar power.
