Many hams practice running their stations out in the field on battery power using deep cycle batteries and buddy pole antennas or just throw a piece of wire up a tree.

There is also solar power panels for field work to charge batteries.

These are just some ways to set up a portable station and operate in an emergency or crisis situation.

As for repeaters, I'm glad they are there but I seldom use them. However, there are solar powered repeaters out there and they are listed as such in the ARRL repeater guide.
