My hit on it is that a 2 kW inverter would be more than enough to handle the
AC side of it, and a bank of 12 volt truck batteries would work for the DC
side of it, but there are the problems of parallelling large batteries, how
to combine the outputs of solar cells and wind generators, and a reasonable
source for all this stuff.

Comments appreciated.

Clever idea. Good luck with it.

Are the hangar doors electric? If so - make sure you have enough
surge current capability to get the motor started. I have a 120V /
1850W generator and it did not have enough juice to raise the door
during a power outage.
