Solar is probably the best option for electronics but, battery weight may become an issue...

This is an awesome idea for a repeater network. Its done in many countries.

Solar cells can generate around 80% their peak energy even on cloudy days.
It's not that I don't believe you, but it almost sounds too good to be true. Do you have any sources? What happens during night-time?
