Most people use propane powered fridges...
You can also look at a generator that charges a set of batteries that in turn produce 120v ac power through an inverter. You can also connect some solar panels to the system as well if you have a good south exposure. This way you only have to run a generator a few hours a day. When I was looking at a place on Diamond a couple years back, the cost was going to be around 10k.
I must say I'm glad I ended up on an island with power. There are enough complications with island living without having to constantly nurse a power system.
I also worried about the noise factor of living on an island with a lot of generators.
