   The money just wasn't there to go backups but after I pay off the last   
   of the solar, I'll look at 1 battery to add to it.   
      
   ----------------------   
   If you have commercially installed grid-tied solar adding a battery may not   
   be possible and would be no help during an outage, since the controller   
   shuts down when grid power fails, to prevent back-feeding that could shock   
   line workers. The grid serves as your storage, with any excess of your   
   output over your consumption recorded by the two-way electric meter.   
      
   The simple and safe, though not cheapest, backup is a packaged power station   
   such as a Jackery. If you are experienced in the design and construction of   
   electrical equipment a comparable system can be assembled from   
   single-purpose modules for about half or less the cost.
