I like this idea, but I am a little slow, so please
make sure I understand. 
1) The Outbacks power a subpanel.  
2) The batteries power the Outbacks. 
3) The wind machine powers the batteries.  
4) The grid also powers the batteries by using the
Outback charger capability.  

Do the electrical inspectors have trouble with this?  
As long as most of the power is from alternatives it
seems to be a good idea. If the alternative sources
are small the battery efficiency will eat up the
savings.
