But the old paradigm of a big central energy producing thingy is still going to be a major target of terrorists, foreign and domestic.
The big central thingy can be protected.
The soft target is the grid. And rooftop solar panels still depend on the grid.

Having electricity available is most important at night time. And solar panels don't work very well then.

just get one of those tesla batteries have them charge up douring the day and use the power douring the night.
Yes, you can do that.
The people that I know who are using solar panels are not doing that. They are relying on the grid for electricity at night time.
Battery manufacture and battery disposal both have environmental issues.
