Jason, believe it or not, you are not far off! You are envisioning the solution for some of the more "advanced" shacks--entertainment centers and satellite dishes.

It sounds like you want an AC system for your "home theater" system, so make sure you get a mobile rated inverter if you plan to have a backup AC source. That way you will have integral neutral-ground bond switching. The mobile versions are rarely much more $, if at all. Try Magnum or Outback. And make sure you plan for a satellite dish so you can pick up curling matches.
