It also has a smart system that can prioritize what things should run
(like a sump pump). I'm just not sure of the longevity of these types
of systems, but I'm sure that they'd be more reliable than something
that was cobbled together.

The beauty of a different approach is that one
could power one's house during a blackout.
Freewatt *does* say that they are planning a product
that will do that, some time in the future.

Just not now.
