solar power is great, except when there is no sun for days on end. if you are going to be gone during any of the 'norther' months, you need to up the battery storage capacity to compensate or have electric backup. I kinda like the electric, then solar back up suggestion.

With the low price of solar panels these days, it's pretty easy to have enough capacity to charge the batteries even when it's cloudy. I have a back-up generator, but in the last year, I've only started it to exercise it, I would get along just fine without it.
