The problems with renewables is that you can't switch on or off and there is no good storage solution.

While solar + batteries would be good backup options, they would do little to support electric-driven heating, as solar irradiation during winter is too low already, and zapping your batteries on resistive loads will surely kill them young.

Li-Ion storage is by no means perfect, but it's the most perfect we have, today.
