Please excuse my limited knowledge, but since you're in one of the most sun intense, cloudless areas in the US, why not consider solar with a battery bank and a smaller generator?
GREAT QUESTION!!
From my research solar battery bank would not run half the electricity in the house first off.
Second there is no way to run a a/c strictly from battery. I have look at solar systems from the home and whenever I have looked at it, the results have been the same.
It would not pay for over half my bill (therefore not making it worth the startup money)
Second being that none would install the battery backup as it would be a waste of money.
