Best of the Big Boys

18.5K sounds like a lot of juice but it don't even last a day!
Remember that you only want to drain your battery down to 20% before heavily taxing and limiting the life of this expensive unit.
So in useable terms you have say, 15K of available power. If you're running a full size house with 4 people, you're going to consume 20-40K per day.
I've had this bad boy for a year now and while it operates fine, you'd be shocked at how fast you can drain it. Really you need at least two of these units and that's expensive.
