How many things do you have that you "need" a battery system like that for?
You could buy a lot of batteries and inverters for that price, and if it's just your fridge or starlink that need to stay on, you almost certainly don't need to spend $20k for infrequent power issues.
Lights, water heater, stove, fridge, freezer,

Your creature comforts may be worth lots of sats... mine are not, so i would say that Freezer and Fridge are the only "need" items in that list given that food can spoil quickly.
You can boil water and cook with a propane cooktop & propane never goes bad... $1000 will get you a VERY long way.
Now you need what... 2 hours of backup for your fridge and freezer? or maybe it's a whole day?
If your power is going out for more than a day on any type of regular schedule, I would begin looking for a new home or getting a diesel generator instead.
Batteries are not suitable for electric heating devices.
