Well, this is certainly not necessarily in the DIY spectrum for everyone but it’s interesting nonetheless.

And yes, I realize that this may never actually happen on any kind of scale to make a real difference but it’s still interesting.
Jet A is basically kerosene and kerosene has uses other than jet fuel, it’s basically diesel #1.
So imagine an off grid place using a solar system to create kerosene to run a diesel heater, or gen set.
Not exactly clean tech but interesting.
One could power their off grid place with normal PV system, and be creating diesel fuel with a separate solar system all year long to be stored to be used for heat in the winter, or to run a generator.
Of course there would be a lot to that. Fuel storage, possible gelling issues in cold weather with the kerosene but it’s still an interesting possibility.

Revolutionary solar tower can create jet fuel out of thin air — and it may be the key to cleaning up the aviation sector
It might sound like science fiction, but scientists have developed clean jet fuel from just air and sunlight.
