Thanks...if the house is a long-term commitment (e.g., not planning on selling/moving too soon) then going with powered lights will give you the greatest reliability, broad choices, and the lowest maintenance required. So absent any obvious "musts" other than needing reliable lighting on the two driveways, I would start with looking into powered lights if I was in your shoes. I've never been fond of mucking w/batteries (they die at the least convenient moment), and I've found solar in some outdoor lighting I've used in the past to have too short a usable life-span.
I currently don't have any automated landscape lighting in place myself (other than some Ring floodlight cameras), so can't help you with specific options, but I'm sure others will drop by w/suggestions. An obvious appraoch is find a "dumb" lighting option that you can then control on/off/dimming via smart plugs and motion sensors, etc. I'm actually interested in this subject as well, so I'll keep an eye peeled on this thread. 
Just found this...wow.
