Have you thought about going with a wind turbine ? Nothing to huge, just
something that would give enough power to run your hot water tank and maybe
a few outside lights at night from a battery storage system. It would help
cut at least something off the bills a bit. In the picture it looks like
the perfect spot for a small turbine not to far away from the back of the
house, and disguised by the trees in the background.

Current prices mean that small wind turbines are not
economically viable. I'm not taling about a tiny thing that
generates a few W, I'm talking about a big one which produces
enough power to power a hot water tank.
