How would such a use affect the car batteries? Ideally you'd use different batteries for fixed installations than cars, as weight is less of a concern than longevity ; a car sitting idle like 70-80% of a day sees way less battery activity than a home panel, which should be charged/discharged more constantly.

it's not really a feature you'd use at home except to power essential items during a power outage. so maybe they're looking at marketing these mostly in Texas.
