 You REALLY hate solar, don't you ?

I personally am a huge fan of solar for my offgrid fortress of solitude during
8-9 months of the year.
For the rest of the time, I wonder if small 2-3 meter wind turbines might be a
thing?
For heating I would use a wood stove or a pellets burner.
Last time I was trying to calculate the cost of battery storage for a 100% solar
it came out at 600k USD or so, that is... madness.

 Well, USA, a lot of power companies have built HUGE
 solar farms. The idea isn't to replace the hardware
 power plants but to add daytime grid capacity when
 the load tends to be highest. No 'storage' needed.
 This way they don't need to build new plants. Solar
 is E-Z add-on too.
