I've tried this, and it works fairly well, but I found that running
power out is often easier in the long run. In fact, what I did is run
unregulated DC out, and had a point of load DC/DC converter to trickle
charge the battery. A lot of these switching/control functions are high
peak, low average power.
If you're digging a trench, dropping in another 3/4" conduit to carry
AC power means you can have a convenience outlet to plug in things like
soldering irons, test equipment, a sawzall, etc.
