I will say that a lot of people are surprised to learn that having solar panels on their home does not mean that they will have power during a power failure.
That requires a whole lot more equipment and money.

That is why I would consider the backup battery system.

Lot of folks think the electricity generated is enough to start and run their AC too (it can’t).

They get a hard sell that implies they have unlimited access to 24 hour power.
When I ask them about battery banks, inverters and switching gear...blank stares and crickets. Most think the photo voltaic cells store power and that the power is already regulated to 120V 60Hz coming out of the panels.

' That was a deal killer for me. That is non-negotiable as far as I am concerned.
