Are you going to use low voltage DC?

Seems to me there is a lot of product support out there for 12v electronics and LED lighting. Is that part of the plan? You could use an inverter for the 120vac stuff.

Some big solar arrays and batteries can handle a lot. As in a boat, the heavy draw will be for refrigeration and heating. I assume you'd skip the air conditioning or use a generator for those relatively few days a year you really need it?

Unlike a boat, you have the option for geothermal heat and cooling. If you want to discuss that with a homeowner who did that, in NY, I can put you in touch.
