I took a peek out of curiosity at the idea of solar-powered generators. Turns out, it's a thing, and can be used to power all (or most) of your home during emergencies. You can even get combination solar/wind turbine generators with dual solar panels so if a hurricane results in days of indirect sunlight, the wind turbines will continue to turn and generate power. Might not be enough for the AC but maybe enough for fans, lights, a smaller refrigerator/freezer, a smaller microwave oven, and your computer.
