I have started getting calls from customers who hate having a solar array that does not generate when the grid is down but the sun is shining, but who also want to get the $.12 premium when the grid is connected.  We have lots of systems with SMA Sunnyboy inverters, but more with Enphase micro-inverters.  Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, what you found to be the best solution for this type of installation?
