Reply to comment by cbri in If you used a company to put solar on your house who did you use, and do you like them? by cbri

Battery is not for night usage, it’s for backup if the grid goes down. If you sign up for connected solutions they will pull from it at peak times. Everywhere I’ve seen says they give you 5000 for connected solutions but when the solar guy was here for the quote he said it doesn’t really work like that and it’s at the discretion of the power company.

Part of me just says get a standalone system so you don't have the limitation but it's expensive up front.
