It would still be a problem if you couldn't get propane. To be truly "off-grid", you need a few hundred watts of solar, a couple of good batteries and an inverter. The new residential refrigerators are very efficient.

A couple of 100W solar panels can easily now days cover the draw of a residential fridge in most sunny locations.
