Sid, I use an inverter on a boat to power four computers. It is very reliable. I can unplug shorepower and it automatically switches to battery source and the computers do not flicker. It creates a modified sine wave. One would probably have to match the grid sine wave to reverse feed the juice. I am sure it can be done. The 1000 watt continuous rated inverter I use lists for $1000 but you can find it discounted for $700. It includes a battery charger. For the stated application one would not need the battery charging aspect as the grid is the storage device.

Is a small automotive fuel cell competitive with a centralized large scale fuel cell for electric grid generation? I would think that there are economies of scale for the larger installation.
