For internet access, there's always wireless broadband such as Verizon, which has pretty good coverage on the lake. For power, I would opt for BOTH generator and solar as you could probably run off solar for 90% of the time but would have the generator for backup if extended bad weather precluded solar charging or if you had a high demand that exceeded your solar capacity for a short period.
