Just to add a little perspective on the development of inverter based storage, I have just attended InterSolar Europe in Munich. Every inverter manufacturer is showing some type of add-on battery storage system. SolarEdge was huge, they had the largest visibility of the inverter manufacturers. The reason for the rush to develop storage is the change in the European market. Grid tied solar on a large scale is largely dead in Europe. There were a number of panel discussions about where the focus should be, and all the module and inverter manufacturers were pretty glum. The only perceived area of growth is self consumption, and to maximize that, inverter manufacturers need to have storage. So the aim is not to provide grid independent systems, the design goal is to use all the power production in house and to avoid exports to the grid, while being grid-tied. So the development of these products is not US focussed, which explains why the US distribution people don't know what's going on.
