I hope it's not against the forum rules to reply to the old thread...
Perhaps peak loads are a good use of CAPS.
Many devices have power on peaks that are much higher than the normal load. Such peaks last only a second or less. Not much of an issue with many small appliances but those 1kW devices may cause a serious peak load,
Instead of over sizing a the battery system a CAP may be a good way to handle the peak and keep the voltage stable.
An added benefit is that caps smooth out the voltage during non peak use.
Just a thought.
