Really need battery's and off grid capability whenever possible. Charger +Inverter or a hybrid. No Battery no power in the nighttime or a rainy day.

Problem with systems that need grid synchronization or cloud is you might have full battery's but still sit in darkness due to outages.

100% offgrid also really needs a generator of some kind to bridge longer bad weather periods.

You can have a grid tied system with battery backup that uses an Automatic Transfer Switch for off-grid use.

Depending on setup you'd need to switch from TN to TT earthing and possibly three phase to all using the same phase (for SMA Sunny Islands, at least). This complicates the ATS. Mine's single phase TT, so it's simpler.
