Hi all!
Newbie here, but I've been reading and researching for several months. I just bought a new house (2 phase 120/240v) and I want to install on-grid system (net metering) and storage that gives me a minimum of 24 hours backup. Where I live there are power outages several times a week for periods of 5min - 8hrs+. My budget is between $20-$30k. Does this system makes sense? Any recommendation?
Current Usage: ~550kWh/month but we plan to have (Plug-In) cars in the next 6-12 months, so I would like 600kWh/month system or maybe expand to a 1,000kWh/month. According to Google Solar I receive an average of 1,594 kWh/m2 per year.
Planned System:
Perhaps start with a 600kWh system (19 panels) with 2 hybrid inverters at half the cost and then add panels/batteries as needed?
Thanks!

Planned System:
- Panels: 30 @ (360-370W / CHSM6612M-365, HiS-360SRI, EVPV370) ~$10,000
- String Inverter: 2 @ (MPP Solar LVX 6048) ~$4,000
- Optimizer: ??? (I don't know whether to include them because there are no shadow areas on the roof. But I would like the individual monitoring feature in case of future failures)
- Batteries: 6 (Rack EG4-LifePower4 48V 100AH) ~$10,000 (Maybe a Tesla?)
- Add Hardware: ~$3,000 (Mountings / Racks / Cables)
- System Installation: ????
