SO I am designing my new home (nothing isbuilt yet) I am leaning heavily towards having a propane gas generator for power back up as opposed to batteries. The reason is cost. I will have a grid tied system. I am mainly worried about power outages. I will have a large propane tank to power stoves and water heaters (I know I am cheating). It looks to cost under three thousand dollars for a generator and a battery backup system could cost as much easily. So my question is... Am I right? Will I save money in thelong run to just build a generator and automatic switching into the system?
