You would be surprised how efficient it is to use the backup generator to fill batteries only when necessary. Takes less than an hour to top off a power wall from near empty and burns maybe 2 gallons of propane in the process. And it doesn't have to happen all that often.

Good to know! A decent solution if you're far from a grid tie in (especially now when running wire is so expensive - maybe even a good temporary solution while we hope and wait for the price of that to go down).

OP, the biggest issue you may run into with this build is almost every lender will require you to be on grid. I believe some people on this sub before have listed some smaller local banks that may fund a project like this.
