I have a 600 sq./ft. apartment what's the cheapest way to get a/c+lighting+refrigeration?

Question

Every month I get an $80-$100 bill for electricity based on these utilities.
I need enough electricity to run:
1) 2 lights minimum at night (special light bulbs may help here)
2) 1 refrigerator...large enough to store 2 days worth of food minimum...a large car-plug-in A/C-outlet cooler at smallest
3) However many mini-A/C/heating units are needed (I am guessing at least 2 of the type from Wal-Mart (not the full Window-sill type))

What's the best price (estimated, of course) to pay 6 months utilities cost + get enough equipment to do this using either:

1) Solar power (may need an AC/DC power inverter) + another power source at night (or battery, which ever is cheaper)...is the equipment (where is the best place to buy this equipment and what type of equipment do I need)?
2) A private electric company (side question: which ones are best?)
3) A public electric company
4) A gas or natural gas powered generator
5) Any other arrangement you can think of

Got to be honest it's kind of a funny situation I mean, wouldn't anyone with a 'decent job' not care about doing something so "inconvenient" to save that little money?

But when you live off minimum wage saving an extra $200 a month or so means a lot.
That, along with saving on food and transportation, is the difference between
1) owning a manufactured home within a couple of years (and then saving for retirement, great vacations, & your kids' futures) and
2) barely breaking even and earning bad credit.

Those of you people who aren't so proud and give half or more of their hard work money to rent...because they haven't figured out a way to do better than just breaking even (I know many who are 35+) know what I'm saying here.

That's the funny thing...to say the least I am not too proud to admit I'm far from rich at this point and, rather then lie to everyone and go around flaunting what little I have, I want to step up and make a difference.
