Can I buy and install an Enphase 10T myself? or 5P?
The install without backup looks really simple.
If not, what are my DIY options?
Is a PowerWall an option?
How integrated would it be by not going with Enphase?

No backup, no charging battery on power outage.

I just want to offset round trips to Grid.

I may go 10Kwh - 20Kwh depending on options/prices.

Would I have to increase Amperage out of the Combiner?
I guess I might because I might have enough demand to pull max solar and battery?
Can it be setup to not do that?

Thanks for any info
 
Most Enphase products can't be "turned on" without an installer.
You can use an inverter that will frequency shift.

I have micro inverters.

How does frequency shift thing work?

Are Tesla batteries as hard to get turned on without an Installer?

Would a Tesla battery work with MicroInverters?
 
Never used Tesla so can't say.

Inverters like the 18kpv can shift the frequency up to slow down or turn off the micro-inverters. Called AC Coupling.
Also the XW Pro 6848.
