The last one is cover the roof in panels, fill the bay with batteries and you are maxed out. Should that not be enough power, learn to conserve either painlessly with LED lighting and lower power TV's and such, or the hard way of simply not using as much power.
So unless you are going for the last one, you need to know what you want.
