You need a hybrid inverter if you want power during blackout. It works on solar, battery in that order. If the battery is out then it will use the grid or generator to recharge. It is kind of a reverse UPS.

Why do they not use a hybrid? Both salespeople said that their systems do not charge when power is down and every article I have read since says the same thing.
Is there some cost or legal impediment?
