Nah....you can install an off grid system connected to the grid by having a battery charger connected to the grid charging the batteries...grid goes down...battery charger stops charging....batteries not connected to grid so no compliance issues.
Think of it as having a battery charger connected to your car battery...when the grid goes down do you have to do anything?
On a state of the art SMA Sunny Island system you can connect the grid to the generator input of the inverter and the grid operator doesn't need to know a damn thing....but of course there is no grid feed....
