Something I recommend you look into is a fuel cell power generating unit. Plug Power is just one of the startup companies that are producing these units. They are expensive to purchase. ($5K to $7K) The upside is they are MUCH more efficient than gasoline generators. Just do a search on residential fuel cells and you will find plenty of information.
If you are going to be living 'off the grid' you may want to consider energy efficient appliances. There are refrigerators which use a fraction of the electricity of your standard Kenmore side by side, which will have a major impact on your energy bill. You can find out about these appliances at any store that specializes in solar power.
