Propane fridges, water heater, clothes dryers and space heaters are a pretty good solution for off grid. Obviously if you have enough solar you don’t need any of them but for the money, I think that is the best use of the dollar.

Off grid home Consider a fridge that runs on either electric or propane like RV's. They work great.

Round up to 1kW. So 10 kW panel minimum. Panels are cheap these days. I would do 20kW if you can. Batts are not so cheap. That is where you can save some big money with a modest generator. Propane is nice.
