Perhaps the solar panels should be used in conjunction with wind generators. Now have design wind turbines that operate not from the wind, and from air currents that go from the ground up. So they turn in any weather.
The problem with wind generators is that they don't work in many places. If you live in lowlands or surrounded by high trees you won't get enough wind to justify the cost of a generator. You'd have to build a very high mast or a tower to put it on. I've seen generators attached to balloons that can work in such conditions, but those might work like lightning beacons

You'd have to remember to reel it in before a storm.
