On the forever house, for sure. Solar panels and a battery system along with some sort of fuel backup will be done. Especially since the short list is currently Maine, and semi-rural, we need to be somewhat self reliant.

On this 2-4 year timeframe house? A decent sized portable generator we can take with us, plus a service rated transfer switch to pick up whatever loads we want. The transfer switch will be a small selling point, especially to the right people. I'll make it somewhat pretty (and to code, I might even open my book to check, who knows).
