[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2756228, member: 8394"] I have a house in a village where diesel power is the main generation and depending on how much the local government squanders the diesel I've seen 50 to 95 cents per kilowatt hour. I got so sick of all the goofy Village stuff we installed a takeoff diesel gen set I got off of Craigslist that's Isuzu powered . Ran the remote start into the house run it twice a day to maintain the fridge and freezer and to cook in the morning and night. Years back we put a couple of 8d batteries in with an inverter to run lights. But the house hasn't been used for anything but summertime since 2015 so that system's a little out of date. ( not a heck of a lot of dark for those months so lights aren't as big of an issue.) My uncle tried solar panels wind generation all manner of hodgepodge of hybrid bull honky. Diesel last forever in a good insulated tank, an old mechanical gen set doesn't cost all that much if you don't mind one with a few hours on it, and a big old cowl Muffler and well house sized building makes it nice and quiet.
