For this amount of power, a normal car battery (100 Amp hour) you need 47 batteries, it's better to get higher amp hour batteries. check the battery prices from the link below<a href="http://www.supersportsstore.com/alpine-touring-7772"> Farshad</a> it depends on the region you want to install your system. check your sun hour, for example 4 or 5 hours per day. since you need 14hours x 4kW = 56 kWh per day.

You'll want deep cycle batteries. They can be discharged to a greater extent without damage, and they last for more cycles. An optima D31A is rated at 75 amp hours. It's 12 volts, so that means it's rated at 900 watt hours. That means you'll need 62 of them. Wire them in parallel so the pack remains at 12 v, and run an inverter for your 110 v ac power.<a href="http://www.familylawmadeeasy.com/filing-bankruptcy.htm"> Don't Panic</a> 4 kw for 14 hours is 56 kilo watt hours of electricity that you need.
