As far as the batteries go, there's a startup developing saltwater batteries: safe, cheap, and reliable. They're aiming to compete with lead-acid batteries, and are aiming precisely for residential applications (as well as larger-scale ones): http://www.aquionenergy.com/ http://www.aquionenergy.com/

My grandmother lived off-grid for several years with a wind/solar/battery/diesel-for-emergencies/wood-for-heating/propane-for-cooking system. It's amazing how easy it is to generate your own electricity, the up-front cost is just a little expensive.
