Check out http://www.homepower.com

You can download the most recent issue for free once you've registered; many links to power systems (such as battery backup) in the advertisements. I'm not sure what you mean about a fuel cell. You can buy generators that integrate with your home system. They kick in once the grid goes down. They are powered by propane or natural gas. You could go off gride with solar but it is not cheap.

After Hurricane Isabel (struck two days before my wedding) I bought a gas generator. Haven't used it yet...I figured once I bought it the power will never go out again...
