If long term electricity without any infrastructure is your biggest concern, you'd probably be better off with a gas or diesel generator. At least in that case you could keep some fuel on hand, and have a fighting chance of finding more or siphoning it from a vehicle. Or yes, making the large investment in either rooftop solar or a wind turbine in conjunction with a battery storage system.
