This is exactly why people need to explore alternative energy options other than solar. The best off-grid setup I’ve seen is a bunch of conductive pipes lay over the ground that heated water from the sun, that in turn was used to generate enough energy to pump water to a storage tank during the day up a large hill. At night the tank was drained and water came back down and the resulting pressure was used to generate power, supply back to the grid. It used minimal components (& simple ones), no batteries, nothing fancy but was enough energy to supply a community of several single family homes in a completely off grid system.

So, your example of energy options other than solar is solar with hydro storage? Or did you mean “other than photovoltaic” when you said “othet than solar”.
