I've looked at different battery solutions and it seems like the Enphase system is superior to the Tesla one.
They use a battery that doesn't have to be cooled. Also it won't explode.
If you lose power, you can use the panels to power the house during the sunshine hours. It's only at night when the panels aren't producing that you revert to the battery.
With the Tesla system, if you lose power, you immediately go to battery power until the battery gets below a certain threshold, at which point the panels will start to recharge it. If this happens near the end of sunlight... well...
At least that's how it was explained to me by people who install them. If anyone has heard different, please correct me. I don't have a system (yet) so I'm all ears.
