I sew at a company using primarily solar power. Industrial twin needle machines, computers, laser cutters, heat presses, etc. I don't think solar energy will significantly affect the uses of hand cranks or treadles due to the need to have a power storage system. A severe storm sent a tree down on our roof, taking out the power grid. Without energy storage we were out of business for several days.
