My house is completly offgriddable because it has a 6 kW PV array, a 6kW
diesel generator and a battery bank worth 15 kWh (which is way more
electricity than my house uses up in a day).
Switching power sources caries 0 downtime. The controller is automatable.
I'd argue something like this is the proper way of running an uninterrupted
supply of power for home but I also think this is way out of the scope of the
discussion. Nobody in their right mind spend 20 kilobucks in a supply system
for a computer worth 80 bucks.
