I think that some claim to provide battery less back up. I recall a  
few tries at that objective, a few years ago an inverter manufacturer  
brought out a large capacitor which was going to replace batteries in  
grid tie back up. None of them have apparently figured out how to  
account for changing insolation. From my point of view it seems a  
pretty dicey way to provide power stability, I don't think that you  
can beat batteries (yet).

Cheers,

Ezra
