Adding to the question by asking if solar power the best way to provide electricity to a remote location?

The challenge of getting started on a homestead sounds like a hell of a lot of fun if done right and efficiently. Some of the biggest problems I see with starting a homestead is water, electricity and building materials.

CA...ooooohhhboy...ok well your biggest issue isn't tech, it's ordinances and permits to build the fucking things. Truth be told you'd be better in Nevada or Arizona if that is what you wanted.

Hell, electric generation in that state is so heavily regulated now, I'm not even sure you can HAVE panels off grid. You'll need to do homework to see what Comiefornia allows and considera legal. I know when I left, rain water collection was made illegal, so that avenue is out.

Damn, thought as much though. I came back to my homestate to try and save it then shit hit the fan and now it's starting to feel illegal to even exist in the state unless youre pumping good money into their tax farm. fucking bullshit

I'm being totally serious here. If I was going to start a homestead RIGHT NOW, and could handle a small to moderate amount of snow, my destination would be either Utah, or POSSIBLY southern oregon. Utah is ideal due to fantastic gun laws, lax homestead laws and basic liberty laws (thank you Mormons), good land for farming, fairly easy access to water, fairly consistent weather year round, and not being an active destination for shitskin and mexi-fuck invaders (again, thank you mormons). Other good states are Idaho (but a lot more snow), Oregon/Washington (shitty gun laws, and some weird homesteading laws but amazing land and snow is minimal), or Colorado (growing seasons are fucked up, and water can be a PITA depending where you are in the state, but the rest isn't bad).

Were it me homesteading though, Mormon-land here I come

Utah sounds pretty awesome! But Mormons are such nerds! I could probably handle a teeny tiny bit of snow
