Ugh I really want to do this but it’s totally outside my skill set

Micro solar is doable for anyone with yard space though. Forget the grid and buy some battery storage, put all the electronics into a small shed (like a garbage can box or something, an enclosure to keep out rain). Put up panels anywhere you want. Run the inverter output into your house.

If you have a few grand about, there are company that sell very easy to use kits that are quite handy.

On YouTube I watch a guy Jay Legere who installed a Bluetti solar and battery system. I think that Anker has a system too.

Got a friend with a cabin, and instead of a whole grid they found it simpler to plug their secondhand panels into a battery pack about the size of a car battery that has 110v, 12v, and USB outlets. They charge on the panels at home and it lasts the weekend at the cabin.
