8 kWh of AC power as in alternating current.not sure I understand that math. how does a 5.6kw system provide 8kwh of AC per year?
A TDI is probably a good option for a backup vehicle. I'd probably do a pickup truck as it can haul more cargo and go over rough terrane better then a car. plus you can throw your end of the world generator in the back
I refer you to this site if you want to do some 'solar math' https://pvwatts.nrel.gov/
You can just make up some numbers or start with the suggested 4 kW PV system and go from there.
