Generac, Briggs&Stratton, and Kohler make many generators that are powered by LP or natural gas. These typically start at 10KW or so and go up from there. Powerwall is 5KW sustained and it lasts less than 3 hours at 5KW, after which you're without power again. Natural gas powered units cost about half as much and can run indefinitely. Indeed people even use them to power their cabins and such, with LP delivered only once or twice a year.
