If you don’t consider the 100% depth of discharge, it seems a bit spendy.
I can get inverters for about 20 cents per watt.
Batts for 15 cents per watt hour.  

If I was going to build a 14 kWh/5500 kW inverter setup, I think I could do it 
for $3200 but as Bill pointed out, I will ruin my batts if I do 100% DOD more 
than just a few times.

The new tesla powerwall 2 appears to be an interesting UPS option now that it 
has a build in inverter/charger. 14kWh for $5500, so would run most of my sites 
for about 24 hours. When I backed out the costs for 14kWh of our standard AGM 
cells and inverter, I think this price is quite reasonable.
