I recently came across Racepoint Energy out of Massachusetts. They have an integrated solution in a steel container with 100kWh storage and add-on storage enclosures. I believe it comes as a UL Listed unit with easy connections for PV, AC in, and AC out. I have seen it in person while investigating solutions for a client with similar desires, but my knowledge of the product and company are limited. I believe the one I saw was 40kW PV with 100kWh storage. I see value in pairing the battery with a suitable inverter/charger in an integrated unit from the factory. Everything should play together nicely.
Racepoint is part of Savant, a company focused on high-end home controls. It might not be as ridiculous as you think. There is growing demand for large battery solutions. While generators remain the most practical solution in most backup cases I encounter, there is no question that consumer demand for batteries is high... until they see the price and understand the limitations, that is.
