You should buy a new generator. Generators are not overly expensive, but could cost a fortune, trying to fix an old, broken generator. It is much cheaper in most cases to buy a new one.
Emergency generators are typically a costly investment, with the units costing anywhere from $1500 to $4000. You must also take into account the cost of installation which can vary depending upon your electrician's fees.
The prices will vary depending on what size generator you need. If you are looking for one for the whole house, probably starting at 300 or 400 easily.
The operational cost of solar power generator is high as compared to that of electric one. Especially in a country like US there are some areas where sun heat is very less even in summer. The chips inside will have to be very costly ones.
It costs about $75,000 to install a turbine that is powerful enough to sustain the average house.
Ask your electrician. Some charge by the task and materials needed, some charge by time.

Depending on your policy, yes it can possibly cover a generator.
This depends on the size generator, type of generator (portable or whole house), and type of fuel (gas, diesel, solar, wind). Since you mention a set, I assume you are looking for a whole house setup. These can be had for prices ranging from a few thousand up to about ten thousand (uninstalled). A good place to look at these to get a better idea of what you want would be www.northerntools.com, and other similar sites.
The fuel of a proprane generator is much cleaner than that of a gasoline generator. They are also more cost effective.
