This winter storm is making me actually think about installing a whole home backup power source (I know, me and half the US right now).

I already have solar but no battery as my utility company does 1:1 net metering.

Does anyone reading this have any experience in building a grid-tie battery system? Powerwall is an option I guess but I’d like to DIY this thing if I can so I choose when it get charged not an algorithm.

@ironicbadger The middle ground is a generator and inlet/interconnect kit on your main panel.

Base (once I upgrade to the next gen of their hardware) (once its out of beta) has a generator inlet on the battery stack.
