Re: “You might also look at 'backyard windmill generators'”
I've had this and a 30 foot tower in my garage for at least ten years. My builder says the hill top gets tons of wind. He thinks I'll be able to produce significant amounts of power. I'll be happy if I can produce enough for the external boiler.

Solar panels and batteries - if your electrical
'essential needs' can be kept small.

A generator that can burn methane along with a
'digester' to convert sewage into methane might
be another solution.

You might also look at 'backyard windmill generators'
but this site said this.

A small wind generator that you might put in a backyard might have a capacity of about one kilowatt. An average annual wind speed of nine mph would produce more than 200 kilowatt hours of electricity per year, and average wind speeds of 14 mph could produce more than 600 kilowatt hours per year. That sounds good until you realize that the average household in the United States uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours per year.

So, no easy solutions.
