[RE-wrenches] Adding battery to grid tie

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

When I do this I tend to use an A or B switch for high voltage solar and 
then use a battery based with high voltage mppt or more commonly now on 
DIY, Costco, and Signature, an all in one battery/inverter/HV mppt. My 
clients mostly are technical and can comprehend. I am lucky to have 
them!

The panel wiring to automate can be expensive to do. Go manual! How many 
times and how long is it out???  And so if the client is up for it 
technically and wants to keep cash in pocket, the Florida hurricane tap 
is great. You can't do any of this with big systems and non technical 
people. However, if it was a long outage you are set and Offgrid and 
still have cash in your pocket.

Big systems always seem to have big issues to me.

Good Luck Man!

Is there a consensus as to what equipment to use for adding battery 
backup to normal GT inverter?

I've had a few people ask and I actually haven't done it.

Thx
