I would start with a 48 volt house battery, and a dc to DC charger.
Another option may be a 48 volt alternator.
Solar is a one time cost.
There is a spreadsheet on the pages I sent the link to that may help calculate the battery energy needs.
It may be easier to think in watt hours rather than amp-hours. I will be upgrading my storage to at least 7 kwh.
If the shuttle bus is diesel then get a diesel generator--one with remote electric start would be excellent.
Also look at hydro hot for heating and providing hot water.
There are 48 volt DC mini split air conditioners that are much more efficient than regular roof top units.
What a wonderful project to have!
