That is 150 amps at 240 volts. 36,000 watts. A 12 volt inverter would need
3,000 amps to make that juice. Imagine the battery bank needed for that.
Also imagine the bill if you ever used all that power. Here on Long Island,
electricity is ~ 20 cents/kw after the taxes and surcharges. That would be
$7.20/hour.

Gee, my house has only 150A panel and service.
Maybe I should upgrade to run my microwave and printer at the same time?
