As per my taste you are going unduly high tech.
Just dig a well. Water from well does not need any further purification and is also (usually) very tasty.
I know it first hand.
On the other hand solar panels (PV) are just a waste of money.
You cannot repair them in case of any fault, they are advertising you to be a target of looting and their purchase drains your existing valuable resources.
I would not consider these, unless I have $ 2 millions+ in savings and a property allowing to conceal them somehow.
Permaculture garden is OK.
Explain me how you will survive in the absence of modern medicine WHEN you get sick.
Why should I explain that?
It was not a subject of my post.
And anyway what do you understand as "modern medicine"?
Antibiotics?
Sophisticated cancer chemotherapy or neurosurgery?
In first case you may try to hoard them but in second case there is nothing you can do.
Well, sorry, sometimes you must plan to die WHEN you get sick.
