JKB - Thank you for asking. The power for my cabin is a very simple 12V DC setup. My cabin is modest at 600 sq ft. Its like a fixed to the ground RV. 240W's of panels, charge controler, 500 amh*hr battery pack. If I could have gotten power back to where I was I would have done that in a heart beat. I don't recall the number but solar is like 10x more per kw hr (SWAG on the 10X). But I had no choice. For running power tools and high draw equipment I use a generator.

Shallow well pump, Toilet, Compact Flur. lights, Ceiling fans, Cell phone charger, Lap top, DVD player, all 12V.
