wind generators
You can even a wind/water generator combo, but I've heard they're not very
efficient for either.

I don't know much about these except the
newer AirX has a brake for high speed that
limits it's efficiency compared to older one.
I'm told it is quieter.
In the tradewinds, everyone has a wind generator.
They are cheap work well in steady conditions.
My choice would be a combination of solar panels,
a wind generator, and one other source such as an
alternator on an inboard diesel. It's wise to have two
ways to charge your batteries other than the engine.
