Yep!
There are more remote areas in the world including here in the states that people live that do not have commercial utilities. That have to run generators and or use solar power. One example is a friend of mine in the mountains of California, she has no commercial utilities , power/water/phone, nothing. She is self contained using solar panels and huge battery banks. She and her family have been doing solar for the last 25 + years.
Solar may not be green in the production of the cells and battery's used in a setup but in the long run, I do believe going that rout is greener than big plants burning fossil fuels to power our lifestyles and toys.
IMO!
