Another factor is if your appliances are gas or electric, if you have an electric range/stove/water heater/dryer that's going to be a good chunk. Best thing you can do is look at your power bill and see how much power you're using in a month and divide by 30 to get an idea of how long 18kwh will last you. For my 2500 sqft home in Florida, I typically use about 90-100kwh a day in summer, so this would only last a few hours.
As far as how to recharge it when there's no grid, your options are basically solar panels, a generator, or maybe a v2h electric vehicle
Generator: good for outages, but otherwise little utility and expensive to operate.
Solar + battery: expensive to implement but proven savings over their lifetime and good for power outages (though less flexible than generator)... Also cool your roof so some passive savings in cooling months.
I have a gen, still want solar with a gen input for extended outages.

My goal is to recoup costs through energy bill savings and for it to also serve as backup power during outages.
Also, what is the best way to recharge these during outages? I'm in Texas and when our grid fails we're out for 3/4 days at a time.
Thanks much in advance.

I'm in favor of having layered backup for vital infrastructure, like baseload power - especially if you have more dependent family members, like young children or elderly. Hopefully this video provides at least a minimum educational value for you, going forward. Good luck to you and yours.
