My house is completly offgriddable because it has a 6 kW PV array, a 6kW diesel
generator and a battery bank worth 15 kWh (which is way more electricity than
my house uses up in a day).
Switching power sources caries 0 downtime. The controller is automatable.
I'd argue something like this is the proper way of running an uninterrupted
supply of power for home but I also think this is way out of the scope of the
discussion. Nobody in their right mind spend 20 kilobucks in a supply system
for a computer worth 80 bucks.

It also amuses me how people think that the electricity that powers their homes is all the energy footprint they have.I wonder how many lumps of coal a typical Raspberry Pi burns in its manufacture and shipment.Or how much diesel goes into the organic vegetable basket they buy...-- “Some people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of
