I've got a similar arrangement for back up power, solar panel to battery bank. Well, they need to finish it up, inverter, whatever else goes on the wall, then the wiring terminations/connections, panel, batteries etc. Supposed to last a week, though with a few restrictions, like A/C, washer/dryer or electric stove. How do you like the solar power for back up, performance wise, any problems. Installer states that the batteries could last indefinitely, as long as you stay within the charge discharge cycles. Those darned things are really heavy, blow out a knee or back handling these LOL !

In addition to that my welder a Miller NT 251 trailblazer/bobcat series, has 8500 watts continuous with 110 and 240, would handle any of the extras if really needed.

I would tend to agree with you on back up power and livestock, I do know what it is like to cart water by hand from the nearest source for 20 + horses, can't recall how many that time, it was just a real time consuming pain, now just wire the pump, welder or similar, smart to have back up on power even if just the minimum, having nothing really increases your risks, and chance of loss, with the money that goes into these hayburners, you have to prioritize, back up power is a priority,

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga ...
