I love how you combine practical backups with the vision of energy independence. And as @zubygeee rightly said start with a small solar setup for emergencies. It doesn’t require a huge upfront investment, but it could provide real benefits: energy independence when you need it most, a potential reduction in your monthly bills, and valuable experience for expanding into a larger system in the future. Thoughtful, deliberate steps like this show that meaningful impact comes not just from big, sweeping changes, but from consistent, mindful choices over time. I love it
