Most of the components of a regional solar powered electric grid are
also required for an off-grid home installation, except the transmission lines. A small separately derived system still needs the panels, charge controller, batteries, inverters, monitoring, operator/repairman and an always-available back-up source for equipment failures or long overcast periods.
If you really think solar is the answer, obtain your own system and experience and try to solve or at least understand the problems
first-hand, so you can advocate from more than narrow personal needs.
Instead of one full-time adequately sized power source you'll need to
invest in three part-time ones for the same kilowatt-hour usage; the
solar, the batteries and the back-up generator, and so does an electric utility.

and managed to just one more solar panel than fails they will set a new record this year.
I suspect that we set a new world record in all time miles of road last
year too.

...But you can polish your virtuosity because the fossil fuel plants
aren't there to make up the needed demand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling
"No one actually has to do anything. Virtue comes from mere words or
even from silently held beliefs. There was a time in the distant past
when people thought you could only be virtuous by doing things...[that] involve effort and self-sacrifice."
If you want to make a meaningful rather than uselessly symbolic
contribution then explore and promote ways to reduce your own household energy consumption, like drying laundry on a clothesline. I have a long
list of effective ones, many that I've posted to little or no effect,
but they require lifting a finger to take action personally instead of
just trying to shame and feel superior to others, "Oh, I could never do that."
