Anyone can get solar panels and put them up. They might not supply all your power needs, but they certainly will supply most of your needs especially if you learn to conserve power.

Learn how to turn lights off when leaving a room for example. My family saves almost 30 dollars a month by turning our electric water heater off after morning showers. We may need to turn it on prior to doing dishes in the evening for a few minutes but it is only a 10 gallon water heater and heats very quicky. No, we never run out of hot water but we don't take baths. We shower instead.

Heating 52 gallons of water is a huge waste for most families when 10 gallons will do the job. This also saves water.

PS You can get a 10 gallon water heater from any RV supplier. Get an aluminum tank it will last forever. Although every 5 years you may need to change heating elements, a very simple job.
