That's why my grid-tie system will be DIY. I,m foregoing the feed in tariffs so I can design the system to be easily reconfigurable to feed a non-grid tie inverter when needed.
thats standard install requirements...but in a shtf sitx kinda deal it would be no problem "Lo-Jacking the whole kit to you own battery bank , then using the invertor for your own purposes,....
