Let's propose that a government, state or federal, does away with the current power distribution infrastructure and installs a suitable solar panels/invertor/batteries combo for every house in the state/country. The price, amortised over enough years but not less than your current power bill, would pay for it and more. After it was paid for, a 'maintenance' cost, cheaper than your current power bill but standardised over the country, would be continued providing income to the gov't. The manufacture would be done in-country with start-ups generating lots of jobs. Lots of new 'Steptoe and Sons' starting up to get rid of the current distribution system. Hacksaw blade manufacture goes viral! Etc. etc. Probably wouldn't take more than 20 years or so.
