Power for locations

Much of what I'll be filming is in the middle of nowhere, some of it at night. I don't have much of a budget. Pretty much all of my lighting is DIY from stuff I got at Lowe's. It all needs to be plugged in. None of it is battery powered. Each draws about 180-200 watts.

Are there any relatively quiet, inexpensive generators or battery packs you'd recommend?

The Honda EU1000i is probably the quietest generator there is, however, it is not completely silent and if you get it too far away the power cords will trip your breakers. If you are recording sound I would use some deep cycle marine batteries, another HOWEVER, is you would need an inverter to go from DC to AC and those can have fans which also make noise. The quietest option would be DC-powered lights with their own batteries, if that was feasible.
