Are there portable wind turbines and/or solar panels I can put up in my very bright dusty back yard?

    You can have a switch such that you use “Shore Power” / the grid when your batteries are low and your batteries when they are full.

    For anyone interested: I absolutely do not recommend as a DIY project, hire an electrician. You will kill yourself by stopping your heart or burn your house down. Or both. At the same time.

      I’ve heard this described as an island switch (making your home an island, cut off from the rest of the grid). I don’t think it’s appropriate for renting though, you’d surely need to make permanent alterations to the house’s electrical circuits.
