The cost differential is pretty high, you would have to save quite lot to make that up..I can install my own generator so that cost is minimal compared to the battery system..And as is noted in another post a normal car battery or deep cycle for RV's can do the same job much cheaper.. I personally use a generator but not an automatic system I just start it when needed and flip one switch...and my entire investment is well below most of the others at about $450..

Admittedly the system is not as good overall as the one you are talking about but it balances for me...I would have to be in dire need of power, for instance living in a cold area and be in danger if the power went out for any length of time, to invest that much.. I also heat with wood.


It comes down to how important the need for instant as compared to a short time period to turn things on.. About the only thing that is jeopardized quickly is computer use and data and that can be covered with USP which are fairly low cost anymore. Or in the case of needing power for health related necessities
