When you consider your other option is a whole house generator which sits idle 99.99% of the time, requires regular maintenance, vs the fact that a solar / battery setup is providing resiliency AND lowering your power bill every month, it seems like solar / bat is a no brainer.
Your money, your choices, but I know which one I'm doing when I get a single family home.

I suppose if you lived by a stream you might be able to hook up a microturbine for hydro but that's very situational. Cost is not the highest deciding factor for me. The resiliency renewables grant you would be worth it even at a premium
