Small scale plants are the key when the grid is either unreliable or insufficient.
It's not much of an issue to have, say, a 1000kWh battery with some small/medium scale solar or wind power feeding it. Or even the grid if there's extra.
Then everyone around that battery uses it primarily for their energy needs and only when it runs out they tap into the larger grid.
The only thing solar panels on cars are good for is keeping the AC running in the summer so the car (and battery) are cool at all times.
