When compared to spending 8 grand or more on a 25 kw natural gas liquid cooled generator plus the maintenance costs it seems logical on the surface. The batteries are the biggest variable that I am unsure of.

You can get a grid tie in system that basically pays down your energy bill. There are currently credits through the state and Feds to get 80% if the upfront costs back. You can get a 5kw solar stern for about 6k (26k without the credits) after credits. I am looking into this for my new house build.

No, it is the most illogical way.
