As a solar newbie, this looks like an off-grid system. If I wanted to be able to swap between this and on-grid power when I didn't have enough capacity, could I do it, or would I need additional hardware? Grid-tie in Michigan (where you sell credits back at half price or less) doesn't seem like it has a great payback, and using a battery system is the way to go.

Legally speaking... none of these components are UL listed, so installation on/in an insured/occupied dwelling is really just... not recommended and will never pass inspection.

The solar inverter that they include has AC grid input which can switch to grid input bypass when batteries are depleted. It can also charge the batteries via AC. You can check the eco-worthy website to find the manual for the inverter.

Do you need a permit for installing such a system in California?

California is huge, where are you located? If you're on a farm in the foothills, probably not. If you're in downtown san francisco, probably. You'd be better off asking google instead of whoever posted the deal

The batteries are supposedly going to be UL listed soon. I think in most jurisdictions If you ground mount those panels no inspection would be necessary unless you mount to a structure. Still probably want to keep an install like this on the DL, but many people do and they seem to get away with it. Probably safer in urban areas, IDK. Insane deal for a complete 7.38kW system though.
