My brother installed solar but without a storage system. So when the sun's out the meter runs backwards or at least steady.

It would have been more costly to have power over their daily needs in a battery back up. As it is now if the power is out & it's night/dark they are out of juice. This happened recently while their band was rehearsing, they had to switch to acoustic.

But with a storage system .... you're off the grid and at times like this that would be a good idea.
