I’m a little wary of plug-in solar in the US. Some of the bills propose allowing 1200 watt panels which can overload wiring depending on what else is on the circuit and how in the wall wiring is run. Limiting plug-in panel wattage to, say, 400 watts might be necessary

    Small wind is horrible, the efficiency of wind is entirely based on the swept area of the blades. At scale it’s great, but at household sizes it’s just not worth the cost. Turbines and windmills are a ‘Go big, or go home’ situation as far as being cost effective. Solar, even with batteries, is more cost effective for household or mobile sizes.
