It ranges widely depending on who you're talking to, but if you know who to go to you can generally get them for between 40 and 50 cents per watt.

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.

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

Say a similar on grid home used 500 kWh per month. That is equivalent to a steady state load of almost 700 watts.  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.
