$5,000. I might say tie into the grid and then over time replace it with solar and generator power. A diesel generator for an hour or two a day is going to cost you plenty. Might check on a propane generator just because you might enjoy a lower cost delivery service. If you could pencil out generator / fuel at $3k for the year and barely meeting your needs add a $2k solar system for a little extra, and next year double that and the year after do it again and ideally you start cutting off the fuel.
