I have a very tech-heavy house that generally idles around 700watts, but during an outage, I get that down to 300-400watts.
2 years folks. 2, years.
You absolutely cannot claim they are "the same" in any way, shape or form. Just because they solve the same problems doesn't mean they are the same. That's like saying a scooter is the same as an airplane. They both get you from point A to B so they're the same, right? Wrong.
Im not sure how its not "the same" as a gas generator, at this size. If you run out of juice, then yeah, its dead until you can charge it up again. The battery backup systems that are 1-2kWh are not considered whole-house backup generators since you couldn't really power much. Reading specs, this has a 7200watt output, which is more than the Powerwall 2 at 5kW max output
In other words, its the same as a gas generator as much as an EV is the same as a gas car.
12kWh is not that much power unless you cut your usage significantly. My home uses over 30kWh per day. 7200W output may run a window AC unit or a small mini split, but it isn't going to run a central AC unit. You are right that full sun means more or less unlimited power (assuming your consumption goes down significantly at night), but a whole home gas generator user can also claim that as long as they have an active NG supply they can run indefinitely (100% of the time). Neither is really true; both sources of fuel can be compromised in an incident, and both can suffer from failure.
The thing is, if you have $50k of income to throw away on this problem then of course the way to go is a whole home battery system. Get yourself a nice 15kW inverter setup with 30kWh+ of battery and sufficient paneling to keep it topped off and you will have a kick ass system that is going to be more robust than a generator. But I can take $10k and get myself a top of the line NG whole home generator, so which is better? It's very subjective.
I personally choose to use smaller, portable batteries to keep key items in my house running in short outages; I have Ecoflow Delta 2s that can power my furnace and fridge, some River 2s to power utility items, and a few custom batteries for misc other power needs. When an outage is no longer short, I roll out the 11kW tri-fuel gas generator and do a whole home hookup with a GenerLink; it is powerful enough to power my whole home minus 240V appliance (and those can be run if I shut down a sufficient number of other power consuming devices); it can even handle my central AC unit thanks to a soft start kit.

It's like storing your rice in solid gold containers.
So 12000x.138= 162 dollars
If this was able to self charge itself I could use it for the entire day and save 250 month in utility cost.
Now, the outcome is the same. Both provide power. For someone without power that is probably the most important detail. Not how the electrons are forced upon their path. Your fridge nor HVAC really cares about that either.
That's like saying a scooter is the same as an airplane. They both get you from point A to B so they're the same, right? Wrong.
BTW, it would be like saying a train is similar to a monorail. There are some functional differences in how they operate but the overall theory, infrastructure, and outcome is comparable for the end user. Much like comparing two different power delivery devices
Bye bye
You all still wanna make jokes about FPL not giving away "free" thermostats? Sounds like those free thermostats cost you 40 cents per kwh lol.
So 12000x.138= 162 dollars

It should only be 12 x .138
