Thats a good question. Let me ask my accountant.

I want three of these (dig those handles:)! Though I can combine all three, most usually only two will act as than house bank, or house battery.

Honestly, not sure how you determine how much is needed to support a surge to 2000kw, and I've got this book next to me, Electricity and Electronics by G. Randy Slone. I've glad you asked though, because I was getting carried away lusting at even bigger units. Now that I'm grounded can you help me understand how to calculate this?

You know those Exeltech's are said to be in every US Embassy in the world. So if I get one those, I might have an "in" with an overseas assignment.

Pure sine wave, because my XM 1000 Xantrex states that it doesn't mix well with rechargeable devices, and I've already had a problem with batteries dying right after using with the Xantrex. Rather than debating and empirically determining the cause, I'd rather eliminate the possibility, which could actually end up saving me money. The inverter (pure sine wave) will be in the 500 dollar range.
