I've drilled quite a few domestic wells for people off the electric grid, either by choice or economics.
One customer ran his house on a 2000 watt Honda inverter generator. Before I drilled them a well, they had 2 55 gallon barrels in the back of a pickup. They filled them once a week at a community well. They bought a bigger generator to run the pump in the well to fill their reservoir.
Another customer found it was going to cost between $30 and $50 thousand dollars to get power extended to their property. They bought a used diesel generator for five thousand dollars. He told me he could buy a hell of a lot of diesel for the rest of the money.
