Maybe shoot for less power hungry appliances?

What is your minimum “comfortable” power usage? What luxuries are you willing to give up? For example: can you wash your clothes the old fashioned way — in a tub and dry them on a clothes line? Also, a TV is probably optional however Internet is important, etc. A stove can heat the house pretty effectively.

Also, charge lights etc. during the day.

Think about how your parents and grandparents lived. They probably had few lights in the whole house and one stove to heat the house when they weren’t cooking meals.

Or...I can put 1000 sq ft of solar panels on the roof, and not give up anything.
