I met dozens of people that had off-grid houses powered entirely by solar. Remember the sun is up for 20+ hours a day in summer. In winter they had to be careful, but the had full houses with washing machines, fridges, etc. etc. This was in 2015 when people had lead acid batteries and only a few kW of panels. I bet it's much more common now.
