Yes the windmill to offset the cloudy days is a good thought. I've also really wanted to tap the hydroelectric capability of the creek we have running through the property. It runs steady all year, even under the ice when it freezes over the top. No idea how much those cost or how much power it could produce. Interesting concept though, because it's always running clouds or sun.

The output of a water turbine can be substancial, even if its not a big water flow. Unfortunatly also the investment neccessary is substancial, if its done properly. And there is the question of a permission, since you do interfere in the natural water flow. I don't know how they handle this in your region.
But of all the renewable energy options its sure the most efficient and reliable one.
