Yes, I had a custom inverter built that connects to the battery pack of either my 144V
Solectria E-10 or 156V Solectria Force and provides 120VAC at 15A. I have used it as a
backup power source for our outdoor pond circulation pump, refrigerator and upright
freezer during a power outage, and it works great. Gives real peace of mind that a power
outage won't be catastrophic, and at the very least gives me plenty of time to set up a
gas generator if I need to.
I need to go do a little research and see if the outfit that put this together for me is
still around and I'll post a followup message.

I seem to recall that several years ago, Tom Hudson bought an inverter
suited to the156v battery in his Solectria Force. You might ask him what it
is. I don't think he's on this list, but his email address is here :

Exeltech's XP range (up to 2kw) is available in voltages of 32, 48, 66, and
108 volts (suited for use at nominal voltages rather higher than those
levels). You might be able to use 2 by splitting the pack, if you were able
to balance the load between them. They're true sine wave inverters and are
beautifully made in Texas, USA, but not surprisingly are on the pricey side.

Here are some others I found with a web search for 144 volt inverter.
