The solar decision has two elements - the panels and the battery. The short answer is to get the panels but get a diesel generator rather than batteries.
Solar companies give away more or less panels and make their margin on the batteries. A good 20k diesel generator costs less than a minimal bank of Li-ion batteries. An RK (local company) diesel is a workhorse and will sustain you forever in harsh conditions. The electronic batteries are fragile and nowhere near as reliable.
The typical outage these days is a couple of hours to a few days. While the panels will supposedly charge up the batteries, it needs to be sunny to charge, and storm outages occur when it is less sunny. If there is a disastrous storm like Maira, where the outage is for months, your panels will be toast. In both cases, the generator will have you covered. I installed panels paired with a good generator, and it works great. Don't let the solar guy tell you it can't be done.
