Genny
I think you'll be lucky sorting out a cheap solution, give a solar power store a ring, there's one in Nimbin, Rainbow Power Co. I think, they'll know what works with what, I only use a laptop & it works solar or Genny, but a computer on 240v needs that really clean sine wave or it spit's it, lots of gennys "claim" sine wave, but they may not be clean enough any small spikes & the comp. might get a bit confused.
I use Honda gennys you pay for them but they work & the wave is as clean as you'll get it but I don't know if even there good enough for computers, the 2kva UI genny uses about 500ml of fuel an hour, my 3kva Honda uses about 700ml of fuel an hr.
The bigger solar system you talked about, 48v, is the way to go for trouble free power, but you pay. I got panels off fleabay cheaper, Tor Tech for a sine wave inverter at a good price, been going 2yrs so far & found the acid batteries just as good as the dry cell but heaps cheaper.
Good luck with it.
