How many kwh is that?
Batts can be had for 15 cents per watt hour - or -
$150 per kWh.
Inverters come in at 15-30 cents per watt.
Lets say you want a 20 kWh battery, DIY it should cost $3K for the batts.
10 kW will run most homes unless you have all the AC and clothes dryers
running at the same time.
So $1500 for an inverter.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT Home Battery Array, Generator and Solar Readiness
Looks like it’s about $6k plus installation for a TESLA Wall battery.
Couldn’t I just get about 10 $165 batteries and put them in an array in my
utility room?
I’ve got a Generac transfer switch that I haven’t hooked up.
Ideally I would like to have ‘clean’ power through some sort of whole home
inverter/conditioner for regular utility power.
Then if the power glitches I would like to seamlessly run off a battery
array for a few minutes until the Generator comes online.
Then have a whole home generator on NG for any extended power outages.
But I’m having a hard time finding online any sort of DIY or sample/guide
for electricians to make this.
Is this not ‘normal’ now days?
I don’t have solar, but would like to consider it in the future as well.
Wife doesn’t like the look of panels on the roof ☹
