Hey BP, I missed this post, coming from you it’s ALMOST an admission that solar power can be useful.

One of these days we’ll get through and you’ll see the (solar powered) light that’s me, SS and MB smiling, take care pal.

its just one solar panel, plus a very tiny residential plastic wind turbine on the stable rood, and she can run her laptop for a couple of hours and her few light bulbs, heating is a log burner.
I'm old school. I've lived off grid and the only lighting I had was a small paraffin storm lantern and a paraffin boiling stove for simple cooking, if I was cold I went to bed early, it was only a simple 2 roomed wooden caravan .
