To Cptx, sorry but it seems my goofy nature has derailed your thread and I have infected Brucey and a few others as well 
hope the actual answers helped you.

You might want to make sure the HOA is following Texas Property code section 202.010 in how they are resricting you.
In replying to another thread I found a website that list the laws for each state's solar install rights. Many states have laws that prohibit restricting solar access and even in neighbors blocking the sun to existing solar on your property! https://palmetto.com/learning-center/blog/solar-access-laws-by-state

Well, to be more accurate, you'd first need to ask permission from your wife, and I really don't see her being okay with you impersonating any 3rd parties or painting your body or face, so, well, so much for that idea.
But I guess after she says no tho you can post to the forum here asking for advice how to convince her to accept your idea. 
Woah!
Good Sir, you are right. My wife has magical diplomacy, covert operations, and delegation skills that very few possess.
My wife loves me and will support me in this endeavor while working behind the scenes like the Wizard of Oz. She will have the HOA allowing me to install extra panels on my neighbor’s roof in no time.

Well, it looks like Ecoflow is now offering a solution for AC supply to house in conjunction with their Ecoflow units with an Ecoflow Microinverter that connects to the different Delta models. Then you can plug into any AC outlet (I will guess ideally a 20amp circuit dedicated to the outlet you plug into) and the Ecoflow Microinverter shuts down the AC feed if the grid goes down and then transfers to battery usage from the Ecoflow.
You can then purchase Ecoflow smart plugs that will communicate to inform the system when the fridge/freezer cycles on etc

I thought you meant backfeed house wiring from battery when grid was down (would have required communication with a disconnect switch at the meter), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
So I guess only downstream loads plugged into the battery inverter get backup.

It is back feeding the house, will shutdown if grid goes down. At that point can power the loads with the Delta unit.I thought you meant backfeed house wiring from battery when grid was down (would have required communication with a disconnect switch at the meter), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
So I guess only downstream loads plugged into the battery inverter get backup.

Downstream loads, or backfeed the house through a suicide cord?

Just in the last week I've read a few articles for companies that offer home batteries you simply plug into a wall outlet. Even with the two that I found, I can't quite wrap my head around how they work, or what they do. I know this isn't a solar question per se, but you guys would know...

that sure seems like a backfeed through a suicide cord - I don't think it would pass muster here in the US. I did look on the website and it seems to indicate if power was on it was feeding other things through syncing power with the grid and is a suicide cord. But if grid power was out it had to be wheeled around to wherever and things plugged into its built in outlets.
And maybe it isn't as suicide as I think. Most EU countries the outlets have switches next to them to turn the outlet on/off. And it does detect the presence of AC power before it sends power out. So technically you plug the cord in and turn the outlet on, then it syncs and backfeeds power unless the grid is down.
