Yes that is exactly what I do. It is the most cost effective and I like to have short payback on projects if possible.

My utility requires a manual lockable physical disconnect switch to remove the PV system. This is a perfect place to disconnect to array when the power goes off.




I do hope the recycled EV car batteries will become a way to do this much more reasonable priced in the future. When they are done in the cars they are still have lots of life left in them for other applications.
Solar power will be a great place for them to still be very useful.
