cheapest/simplest way (without going grid-tie) is to have an electrician add a critical loads panel supplied
Cheaper way is have electrician wire a manual transfer switch at the existing panel. When you loose power, turn off non-essential breakers and then flip transfer switch.

- turtlebits 1y agoYou lose all benefits of solar/battery except for during a power outage and you have to flip all your breakers? (you also won't immediately know when the power is back). Might as well save money and not install anything- use an extension cord for those rare times.
