  Isn't that what the Tesla Power Wall's are?   I thought that was the fill measure for when the solar panels aren't generating.   I have never gotten anything, but know when you look on their site for Solar, they try and pitch the batter power walls to run your house for days if needed..

I just looked up Telsa's battery packs and they seem to be between
60-100kwh. Our daily use is about 30kwh in the fall, so it's only 2-3
days. Admittedly we can turn off the hot tub, water heater, etc to
stretch it out. And of course, that means that you can't drive it... The
one thing that would be for everybody's good is using them during peak
hours. If you work normal hours, then that only gets part of the peak
load, unfortunately.
Just buy three of them.  Two to leave in the garage as a "mobile battery pack" and one to drive around.

All problems solved.
