Don't forget your inverter losses.

About 12-15% due to the battery bank. Some inverters can pull off 95% or more efficiency w/o batteries.

That seems a bit low. Check the inverter's specs carefully. Power electronic companies are notorious for playing the "specmanship game". Check the fine print. Efficiency specs are the most notorious in this regard. Usually given at the most ideal line/load point.
