Depending on age you’ll need medicine and heat/AC. Fridge or some way to preserve food( yeah there’s ways to do that without electricity). Guess most of this is under electric utilities, but it’s hard to get consistent electricity and batteries are expensive
For just running a fridge and lights you don’t need too much solar/battery. They have 12v compressors now that are pretty efficient and blow absorption fridges out of the water in cooling. AC is a beast though. No getting around that. Heat could be wood, Propane gche or whatever. Not electric.
