I am building a log home several miles from the nearest power hookup. It will take nearly $ 30,000 to run power to my homesite.

It is, in theory, possible to do this. Batteries store the power the solar panels collect during the day, to be used at night. Consider though, solar power is very expensive in itself. Maybe not quite 30K, but it’s up there .
