The problem is micro inverters are quite cost effective and efficient. Most new grid-tied installs use them by default. In my area, that is probably over 80% of new installs. Eventually many of them will want to make upgrades. If we don't want to be wasting money and generating literal...

Is there a better product if all you want is to add battery to an a/c coupled system? Running new cables isnt really an option for me. So many other utilities need to be crossed, that cost would more the 18k itself. Having the logic for the various interconnection agreements and time of use...
