Its always been my understanding, that if you want to have solar panels on your roof, but not enough to supply 100% of the power you consume, you need to stay connected to the grid and rely on "energy credits" to save money on your power bills.
Im wondering if its possible, instead, to use the solar panels on your roof to charge a battery bank, and use that stored power, directly, when its available. Meanwhile, staying connected to the grid and using that power to pick up the slack when your batteries are dead.
Is this something that's done?
I'm pretty new to this subject, so, apologies if this is one of those questions that gets asked all the time.
