The money just wasn't there to go backups but after I pay off the last
of the solar, I'll look at 1 battery to add to it.

----------------------
If you have commercially installed grid-tied solar adding a battery may not 
be possible and would be no help during an outage, since the controller 
shuts down when grid power fails, to prevent back-feeding that could shock 
line workers. The grid serves as your storage, with any excess of your 
output over your consumption recorded by the two-way electric meter.

The simple and safe, though not cheapest, backup is a packaged power station 
such as a Jackery. If you are experienced in the design and construction of 
electrical equipment a comparable system can be assembled from 
single-purpose modules for about half or less the cost.
