I have something similar but need to come up with a platform similar to your s to mount it on .
There are inverters that turn 36VDC into 120VAC .

I grew up with 2 or 3 rectangular glass jars in the shop that my father said were battery jars from the Delco light plant. Wonder how much that set-up cost?

I have the well pump that goes with it too but the glass accumulators had gone to the breakers before I could get to them. As it was, I only just saved the engine, the person rang me on a Friday night and said if I wanted it, to get down straight away as the builders were going to demolish the shed and the engine on the Monday morning. I had to borrow a pickup truck and drive 100 miles each way, get it out of the engine shed and onto the truck, and, as the engine was on one of the islands off the coast, judge the tide on the causeway to get home. Also got a couple of nice Victorian Garden urns for my friend to make up the load home.
