It seems that going solar on a smaller scale is more practical.
PV solar is foolproof for pumping water from a source that does not involve high head. Dig a hand well, pump it out grid free. I believe water is one of the essentials for survival.
Electric bikes springing up all over. Keep it charged, ten to twenty miles of ready transportation.
Battery powered tools available anywhere, keep'em charged, DIY paradise.
As some other poster mentioned elsewhere the key to PV solar is distributed purveyance.
There are of course those who, like freedom, hate such.
“Dig a hand well, pump it out grid free. I believe water is one of the essentials for survival.”
Yep, sure is. Excellent point. Plus the wood burning stove for those in northern climes.
