Not only been done, companies are working and near finished with a printable solar cell.
Site listed is a fraud. The cells are more expensive than 200 each, and a inverter will run ya another 400-800. Batteries can be obtained fairly cheaply if you shop around are frugal.
Wind turbines should not be the blade type, they are to prone to damage, require more maintaining, and do not give the best results in all wind conditions. You should be looking at the spiral cylinder type blade systems. They work in all wind conditions, even minimal winds. Plus they require less space and lots less maintenance.
Geo thermal is not cheap and not available everywhere unless you have major money. Hydro can be obtained pretty cheap and easily if you have year round running water on your property. Alcohol to electric conversion is one of the cheaper routes if you do not have water, only major expense besides the converter is have the crops or sugars to produce the alcohol in the first place. Then again nothing is stopping someone from generating it from steam either.
Real trick is to have the best ones for your conditions all working in tandum for you. One of the main reasons my main property buy I am searching for has been so difficult. I have so many wants on my list and I want at least 80% of them and 100% of the mandatories. Not easy but not impossible either where I am at.
