Since when is gasoline ‘alternative energy’?

When there is no commercial power your alternatives are a generator or doing without.
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.

Ever considered a Generac?

It shows a lot of prior nights sitting pissed off and sweating profusely in the dark drinking tepid domestic beer.....
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....
Glad none of that’s an issue here. This is the coldest month of the year, and temps today will top out around 60F. In the hottest month (January) we occasionally make it all the way up to 80.
