Back-up power

In addition to the UPS system in the technology room, designed for electronics, fridges, freezers, etc, there needs to be a system to go beyond the 4 hour mark.  Ideally, the solar and geothermal system can also be integrated with a generator system capable of powering the entire house for a week before requiring a re-fuel.

It makes sense that this generator is not in or connected to the main house, so maybe we have a utility house at the back of the property that houses this generator, any of the pool, spa, irrigation, water-pump type equipment, as well as connecting the solar or wind farm back to the house infrastructure. 

If we have a big solar or wind array, and we're selling back to the grid, it makes sense to have it go to a separate area from the house, should it require professional services, etc.
