Sadly it doesn't work like that NR. Even when you don't use them they are subject to the winds, water ingress, vermin, mechanical failure, etc. and you can be fairly sure that when the first one fails, many of the replacements will not start up. Someone who knows what they are doing will be able to botch one together for a while but, imo, they will all be dead in 25 years.
