What's the cheapest way to produce energy for a single household, independently? Is it possible to build a generator from scratch?

You need to define how much energy that is.

Are you using electricity to do everything from heating water, to lighting the house, to powering dishwashers, ovens/stoves, televisions etc.?

How much and how often are you consuming electricity to accomplish those tasks?

Unless you are planning to generate electricity and store it, it might be difficult to (on a small scale) generate enough energy all at once to meet the demand from many of your devices and appliances running at the same time.

Solar panels, and car batteries, look at how they do it on islands that can't get power from large nearby stations, or permits for wind.
