No wind and heavy cloud cover precludes the ones you are thinking of.

You don' t get dibs on words in the English language because you think you have a good cause
Alternative' s primary definition is " other than".
That'd be an 'alternative power system', not alternative energy.
lol, not trying to squeeze out different meanings. Honestly, I think your set up is pretty clever and shows a lot of foresight.

That' s a hell of a motivator.....
Edit to add... Getting ready for nighttime... Have the AC going full blast right now - chilling the whole house down. The water heater freshly cycled ( it is electric) and the well pump shut down. We are now on gravity feed frim the water tank in the ceiling of my garage. Not much pressure - less a shower and more like getting peed on - without the humiliation.... Still - you get clean. Plus you can get water for coffee in the mirning - flush the toilet - wash dishes - or simply get a drink of water. All without power.....
Will shut off the genny before bed and go on the batteries/ inverter....
