I like how everyone conveniently leaves out the part that this is an emergency backup not actual full time scalable tool.
This one in particular: maybe.
The approach in gerenal: not so much.
Have a look here: https://skysails-power.com/systems/venyo/
The one you posted is not for scaling either. I just dont see how this maintenance overhead could ever scale for mass use.
