The sheeple motivated

I think its called 'grid tied' - where you are tied into the grid etc , there's nothing to stop you installing batteries and another type of inverter on a switch to trickle charge batteries which would kick in when grid power goes down.

I believe the only non-starter is the setups that were mistakenly advertised as being 'independent' making you think you would be safely generating your own power when the grid went down, when in fact you were 'tied' into it like a parasite to its host.

Most typical home setups to cover 50% of your needs are based around 15 to 21 panels , generating around 4KW , thats based on 190w to 250w panels.
