Living close to neighbours, would rule out using an engine generator. A tall
windmill is probably inappropriate too.
If you can hang a solar panel on the south side wall or roof and get a 12volt
auto battery, then you could get basic lighting for say three rooms if there
are only one or two persons residing- a panel size of at least three sq feet.
Not much good in winter though.
With a panel of more than 10 sq feet you might get to drive the TV set for 
he
news- in- brief, but not for the movie.
A gas lantern like campers use, is a fine investment.
In winter wear jumpers indoors and get to bed early.
Better yet, make friends with your power company.

My main reason for reply, is to mention that the HOMEPOWER echo has shrunk
from about 30 messages weekly, to about 5. There is a hitch between US and
AUS it seems. A cuppla sysops might be in Atlanta and their auto pilots have
fallen over.  Cheers....ALEC
