What is the price range for a 'good' inverter (4-8KW)?

I'm interested in a system which converts all power (grid, solar, wind, diesel,
corn, water...-derived) into DC for use by battery chargers and home/farm
appliances via inverter.  Such an inverter would need to be capable of running
continuously.

Are there any special problems associated with using multiple DC sources?
