You are wasting your time trying to be efficient with your stereo. The average system I've seen around here costs maybe $20 per month. Try to get the whole house off the grid and you will do some justice.
Solar thermal heating with massive concrete mass in the building is a good way to go, given a heavily insulated building. We have solar PV as well and have a five day battery backup, however it requires about 1 hour of maintenance per month, as do our composting toilets.
If you are of the mindset that you take care of yourself, a republican mindset, than the investment will fulfill your principles.
If you are concerned about the planet, the sun can be harvested better today than ever before. Go for it!
Email if you think I can help.
