One of the main reasons for going to a grid-tied system is to use the grid as your battery.

A Grid tied system with battery back up might be required for places where they have a lot of power failures. But, they are rare around here. Too rare to justify the added cost.

It might be possible to activate an EnPhase system with an inexpensive inverter unit..
