I decided to sell stock to install a large solar array. My theory is that I'm investing in securities to smooth out my retirement. Investing in the solar panels divorces me from wild swings in electrical pricing as well as providing my daily electrical needs. I reasoned that securities that are based on societal organizations are harder to predict than my energy needs or the sunshine. I think there is also an efficiency in developing the electricity as close to the need as possible.

That's hedge for sure in that you're minimizing your downside risks. A friend has a large array, a battery, an electric car and no gas appliances. During the big wind events where PG&E cut off everyone's power didn't effect him at all. He has a mortgage and a water bill basically. He said their is this feeling of being free from all that.
