FYI, most home solar setups are grid tied. This lets you sell power to the grid, as well as supplement it with grid power, when required. The downside is that it goes down with the grid, so not to back feed and electrocute linesmen.
To go independent you need a more expensive system with a fail over mode. It drops out with the mains, but then fires a switch that disconnects you from the grid. It can then fire up again in off-grid mode. The reverse process is needed to reconnect to the grid.
Solar with an off grid inverter I hope. Or at least have a DC/DC solution to get the required voltages, but I doubt many people have what it would take to handle such high voltages.
Solar innit
