A well-designed system integrating batteries and generator can be more fuel-efficient; generators work best running at 50-75% of rated capacity, so instead of having the genny chugging along all night when your house consumes very little power, you can run it in the "power band" for a few hours by having the output charge the batteries back up, then sip away at the stored battery power at night.
