Diesel generators are considerably more fuel efficient to run than petrol unit and can stand many months without use, unfortunately the initial purchase price is far higher.
Home generators can be cheaply installed with a simple changeover switch ensuring they are safe and will not get damaged when mains returns. Although back feeding into a plug does work this is illegal and dangerous and should never be done.
Solar power and alternative Power solutions -
A typical off-grid solar PV system for a remote house consists of an array of solar panels, a solar charge controller, batteries and an inverter. Solar & wind energy systems use banks of special deep cycle batteries to provide power at night or when there is no power being generated.
