First off, what are you trying to do?
If its' to save money on the utility bill, it's an interesting but futile pursuit of economic phantoms. Saving money by making your own electricity is about like trying to save by making your own garden hose to save six bucks.
If it's for emergency power for occasional outages, determine what HAS to run (water, food, and emergency lighting) and don't plan for microwaves, hairdryers and toasters.....or electric stoves, hot water heaters or air conditioning, either. It takes a BIG genset to reliably *start* and run ordinary appliances we don't think about while on grid.
If it's a fish camp on that 20 miles bridge you're next to, you don't need that much power...use propane for refrigeration and cut usage in half.
I'm off grid by 22 miles and run a 6-1/5ST about 16 hours a day. With 3KW of batteries and inverter it would be much better.
Fact of off-grid life-- You can't afford fuel enough to generate enough electricity for one woman. Their 'footprint' is like godzilla.....<my experience only, you might have a rare one that knows how to sharpen a knife by hand.
