Solar panels (Patreon)

A bit of Storytelling Shorthand at play here - we've actually had the solar panels for a while - but we do have a set. Unfortunately it is indeed only good for sunny and partly cloudy days, and especially during early winter, it's always either cloudy or dark outside. The sun disappearing from sight in october or november is the first sign of winter, and the sun finally shining agian in february is the first sign of spring.
