I'd prefer broadband CPE (UL listed) with a standardized backup power
connector (doesn't exist, but I can dream).
For DIYers, building their own magic box to convert from their powerwall
to backup low-voltage small devices. This was one of the few DIYers who
include appropriate fuses in their design. Too many Youtube DIYers treat
low-voltage as harmless and don't include safety devices.
I've seen the after-effects of a few DC/Inverter plant meltdowns. When I
used to visit IXPs and data centers, all of them seemed to have at least
one melted, metal wrench :-)
