Oakey, Thanks;
me, from practical Knowledge, I would >theoretical< see an market. But from Practise I say NO! This is really an topic for an very big Discussion with alot of Advantages and Disadvantages.
Theoratically:
* in this typically small Houses, one Floor ->then alot of Rooms it seems absolutly perfect
* the Usage is still low, what hold the Cost's (for the biggest Part (Batteries)) down
* there are soooo much possible Customers, depending on the Price
* and all the thick (DC) Cables: $$$

I'm not an Engineer, discussed this topic couple of times with one. Myself I'm not able to calculate such Things:
How long stays an 1; 2; 3; 4; 5KW Part online? And in this Case, how many Batteries are needed? How to reduce Powerusage due the Time of Blackout, that the Batteries can stay longer? How to prevent from deep discharge?
Even I don't know, where you are comming from.., here Batterierooms have to be in 'EX'!!!
Practically:
* who takes care of the Batteriepacks? (Kenyan's aren't really good in Maintaince!)
* Batteries dies in Africa like Fly's
* hwo can afford to buy it? The Fluctuation is offten high, the "Pocketmoney" low
* for smaller Hotels; Pensions the Capacity is probably to low
* often it isn't though about while constructing an House, to separate Powernet and Compensation

What about an Cost - Use Calculation, between Battery (Inverter), PV and Generator?
YES, that's really an Topic for a lot of Evenings (Tuskers) *Cheers*
I can only give you some Ideas, what is to think about (and my Minus-List is bigger!).
Good Luck
