The great thing about it, is its very portable...get a nice base-camp tent...a portable wood stove...and you can survive on your own in the woods with electricity.
If things begin to look hairy, you can pack up and move on. Or wind generators. There are more portable versions available now.
But, of course, they depend on sunlight/wind to be useful. That's where the battery banks come in. Most of those run the 12v/6v battery setups.
Personally, I wish I could run a small setup at home. Initial cost is the problem. Getting enough batteries for the 'bank' to be useful is quite spendy. Have to go with an small, but expandeable, setup solar-wise. Then add the wind generator.
