If you have land to spare than your best bet for solar is growing / harvesting bio-mass (solar) then gasify and pipe into a gen.  That doesn't get you the same watts/meter^2 as silcon modules but it is far more practical and cheap plus the unburned biomass is your energy storage for a "rainy day".

Check out short rotation willow coppicing for ideas.
