If your needs are strictly limited to refrigerator and a few lights (portable led shop light will be your friend), a large solar panel may do the trick. Just leave the refrigerator closed at night when no power is going, it will stay cold overnight.
Cost is about the same, no fuel needed, storage is easier, no noise.
