Some MPP inverters can supply backup power during the day using only PV connected to the PV DC input. No batteries needed!

The only other major brand I'm aware of with that feature is SMA. But while SMA requires a bunch of extra hardware if you decide to add batteries later, MPP just works with batteries.

I have the schneider 4048 it will ac couple & has firmware to work with the solar edge to curtail but a frog got in it and burnt up a piece .So i plan to buy another ,but for backup i am thinking of getting one of the mpp solars & making another string strictly off grid.

My battery i just got is a 10kw heavy as a boulder i put on the outside of my old chimney. Also have the nissan leaf batteries about 7 kw. The voltages of the two batteries are different was hoping i could ran them in parallel .
