I have my campground solar powered, but I use batteries because I am not hooked up to the grid, for Solar to ever be meaningful this would have to happen nationwide, that’s a lot of batteries. Otherwise you are still dependent on “The Grid”.

A more feasible option and far superior would be Personal Thorium Reactors for EVERY HOUSEHOLD. Make Americans truly independent again and SCRAP the Grid.

I have been considering going totally solar-powered for some time now, but since I need not just cooling in the height of summer but electricity for heating in the winter makes the demand placed upon any solar source for the needs here make it very unlikely that I can achieve that with today’s current state of photovoltaic power generation capabilities and cost.

At any campsite I spend time at, if I do not have a small generator handy then pretty much the only thing I can run off of a portable solar panel or three is a small laptop. With, yes, rechargeable batteries for LED lights after dark. Very limited runtimes for each item as well.
