Personally, I would isolate things you want to run off a system like this and do not interconnect at all until you are really ready to go down that path. You could run a sub panel off something like this, that has no feed back to the utility and have fun testing. I have a 8.9kW array with a SolArk 15K with 20kWh of storage, in the process of adding another 8kW of solar right now.
Anyone know if you can setup so that when power prices increase (time of use) it will really start pulling from the batteries?
Edit: i should have been more clear, i'm not looking to connect to the grid, just run some items off the inverter and recharge the battery, not backfeeding to the grid.

So i'm thinking about making my home office its own little grid running off a hybrid inverter and a 24/48v battery.

Also not sure if this is mentioned but you will likely want a home to have a minimum 48V or 96V because of the gauge of the wiring will be very expensive and for every 2x in voltage the gauge goes down one level (rule of thumb but distant dependent). Of course the input voltage YMMV on the inverter model but the higher the voltage the better. My inverter handles 300+V because that is what my solar panels field but there is also a tradeoff as once you get above 48V now you are getting into personnel issues w/ safety. You are also likely putting LFP in your home while they have lower thermal runaway risk that cobalt-based tech they can still destroy your house so proper installation is paramount. Codes are getting more stringent for fire isolation/sheds etc so they will become even more expensive to build in the futire.
My point being just dont do this on your own, you should consult a professional and do it above board because if you ever get caught or have to sell the home and it is not properly inspected or permitted you can lose you home insurance and/or they will make you remediate it costing many more times than the saving in electrical cost.
Where I live there is no ROI on battery (ever) because I have special TOU rates for my EV but there are other considerations if you are looking to do this for ROI or just for fun.

If you want to backfeed to the grid without the overfeeding the grid, you can connect your batteries to a "grid tie inverter with limited" - look on amazon. With this, you would just need a solar charger controller and some batteries.
Ok after browsing all the photos, no charge controllers for 1100w and 2000w. So best deals are the 3000 and 5000w with MPPTs.
