Bottom line is it will be very expensive to make a grid tied system to retrofit with battery.
Perhaps I am not being clear. I can set up a whole home generator that when the power goes out, it will kick on, power my home and not put current into the grid. Why cant a solar panel use the same switch that a generator does?
