I'll again be the voice of logic and frankness, but this post is useless.

All we know is you need to go a mile to power your home, shop, etc. Oh, and they will use "lots" of power.
Do you honestly think anyone can give you ANY sort of accurate help with such a lack of details?
Heck, we don't even know your location. US? Canada? UK? NZ? ????

IMO this is a question for the POCO. That kind of distance is NOTHING for a DIYer to even consider working on.
