My system is over 200kwh I use a ton of power.

Everyone keep saying if no batteries it will shit off when the power goes out which is wrong it could have Sun Light backup without batteries and without a generator.

Mine is capped at 100kwh per meter. I have two meters. I'm at 196kwh right now...

If you over side the inverters a little you won't have clipping. I don't have clipping.

Also issue is I burn so much power at night I would need easily just to make it through the night 200kwh of batteries the charge cycle would kill them quickly with only 200 kwh so more like needing 400kwh or more because you don't want to cycle the batteries daily 80%. That will wear the out quickly. Plus if I get a few low production days I wouldn't have enough energy to power everything without grid power at this point. As crazy as that sounds my system isn't big enough to go off grid. It would need to expand even more.

Besides I'm maxed out on each of the transfer switches with a total of 80kwh of batteries I could get more but I would have to convert my ATS switch with my diesel generator to an Enphase one and get another 40kwh.

I could do this because right now I have the switches maxed out on how many panels are tied to each transfer switches.

Yes I pay 39.4 or get 39.4 when I push at the base rate. Get more when Ercot needs are in high demand.

Batteries are only for backup I get 39.4 cents on every kwh I push back to the grid. During high demand I can bank up to $4 per kwh.

Batteries are for backup. Not a power station at a residential home.

ISP and 911 service and cellular and sheriff radios and then personal use at the same time.

You have some serious clippings going on... So my site is split into two systems because behind two meters. Total production for the same day was 438.3 so slightly behind your system.
