This company was known as Capstone MicroTurbine in the past; and I worked for them as a (financial) contractor for nearly six months. Their products are quite amazing, but 'typically-not' for residential (home) use; however, you might find decent electrical power information at their website.

Now if you had a few neighbors willing to share costs AND interconnecting wiring was possible, then their smaller unit (although pricey) might become an option (?).
