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.
