You'll have to look at the price you currently pay for electricity in your cabin/community, use http://pvwatts.nrel.gov/ to get a feel for the solar possibilities, and compare the prices.
It seems everything is expensive there, if you pay a fuel price of $25/gallon for your diesel generator, every gallon saved when using PV helps.

kW/m² depends on your locality, higher latitudes have more airmass, therefore less solar energy.
http://pvwatts.nrel.gov/ is quite usable to figure things out.

Have you measured the motor temperature, and experimented with partially blocking the air intake to that fan, to decrease the fan-power a bit?
