Steve, It is already there, been there and doing that. My 30 x 96 foot greenhouse is 100 percent solar (active solar). I’m picking green beans today and have spring mix, basil, carrots, mache, turnips, green garlic and mustards all off solar for heat and electricity for pumps and timers. There is no reason in the world not to use renewable energy be it solar, hydro, wind or methane gas digesters. Yes there are problems, but what system doesn’t have problems, i.e. like our power grid in this country being out for a week or more from one storm. Talk to Sora on this list, she has been off-grid solar since the 80’s.

A generator with a power tool, a compressor, or battery charge/booster can go anywhere on the farm on short notice. Then if you want a neat little hobby where you can learn all the reasons that solar and wind have a ways further to go before being taken seriously, you can get some solar.
