We're looking into the same thing right now - and also considering a windmill instead because our house is close to the ocean and there's always a good breeze. My brother-in-law has a 3 bedroom 'weekend' home up on a mountain in Ocoa where there is no electricity yet. [although I saw electrical poles being installed last fall, and now there's a transformer on one of them right near his - and our - property. We have 70 terajas next to him, another brother-in-law has over 1,000 across the road] He has solar panels on his roof that feed into a bunch of batteries, that connect to the inversor and the electric box. Works VERY well. We're all considering doing the same up there too.
