Off-the-grid with grid-tie inverter?

I came here looking for information on Micro-Grid Tie inverters, but reading this entire thread has been educational.

I am currently renting, but am considering as we retire to a different area, putting in solar to at least cover the 'minimums' for lights and possibly a few other small loads. Basically doing lighting as DC LEDs, and a few other dc-only loads. But the wiring for DC loads needs to be larger wire to do it safely with low loss especially if it isn't 'near' the battery source. -- Basically choosing to reap the 'low hanging fruit'.

Could someone point me to use and information on micro-GTI's?
