I've been doing a lot of research on places to live when I finish school, and I really think Oregon is the perfect place for me. Me and my boyfriend want to build an off-the-grid house. The thing is, he says we can't live in Oregon because it's not sunny enough, and if we relied on solar panels it wouldn't work out. Is there some other off-grid solution besides solar panels we could use as backup? I don't know much about wind turbines and how much they would cost. Does anyone living in a rainy, cloudy climate make much use of solar panels? Or should I move to a state that has more days of sunshine (I've been considering Colorado)? Suggestions? Thanks.
