So for $18K I can get a 9kWh system installed. For somewhat more ($40K?) I can get more batteries and have a 36kWh system. According to my last SECO bill I use about 40kWh/day. So my $40K investment will run my home for most of 24 hours - then I'm out of luck. This is much less then two weeks.
If I didn't use AC or hot water it would last for much longer. If I didn't use AC or hot water I could get by with a 2,000W Honda generator for about $1,500.
The PowerCell with the solar panels might be a great way to save money but it doesn't appear to be a solution for a long-duration power outage.
OTOH: Since most (all?) of our outages are short, even the $18K version ought to be able to ride through one. I might look into that!
