My parents in Ireland have just put solar on their roof. They have a battery and plan for an electric car to replace their ice next year. Their power bill is now in credit and it’s winter time. They now think they could last 3 days without power in an outage and 7 days if they didn’t wash and dry clothes.

Solar is always weather dependent. Ireland is not hot and often is cloudy, but there is daylight and that makes power. It comes down to economics and they work, it seems.

Wow sounds like they have a pretty sweet setup. Good on them for doing all of the work
