Unquestionably. If you lose 20% each way, making AC out of your DC batteries, then later, recharging them, that's a lot of money tossed away.
Then again, what choice do you have?
I love inverters and I accept the costs associated with operating one.

Thanks for the laugh.
It's possible you pay a different rate per Kwh than you did in your previous residence, plus all the other factors you mentioned.
