Wow! At $1060 a battery, 12 batteries = $12,720 and 15 batteries = $15,900.

At 29 pounds per battery, 12 batteries = 348 pounds and 15 batteries = 435 pounds.

Add the cost and weight of the solar panels, all the electrical parts needed to make this work, and I can see the cost approaching $20,000 easily.

The size of the battery is 12.75 inches x 8.765 x 9 inches.

That is square foot foot print of 111.75 inches which equals about 3/4 of a square foot.

Multiply 3/4 of a square foot by 12 and it equals approximately 9 square feet.
15 would be 11.25 square feet needed just for the batteries.

I admire your dream, but I hope you have a really fat billfold with lots of cash or really good credit.

And, where is the wife going to pack her tooth paste
