Here is a link to some good video on wood gas power generators. Some are using bark and pine straw as a source to create wood gas that will power a generator. This might be a good way to maintain battery power for lights at night or even radio communication power.
Solar power panels are great, once you get past the size, cost, and est life of them.
Frankly I prefer wind power gens and wood-burning steam power gens/heating systems better. Wood and wind are far more plentiful in most areas, especially at night. Both latter sys can be used without battery banks,(although these can be added for a more steady and consistant supply. These systems are also more cost effective in general ...and they work equally well at "Night". Solar doesn't quite give you that without battery banks or power storage.
