how does grid-tie work?
Hello, I do have a possibly not standard situation where I have an existing permitted grid-tied solar installation (approx from 2003, 40 panels 125W each, with 2 strings -- the inverters failed in 2016 and 2017 and were replaced). No batteries in 2003. In spite of average daily production of...

In grid-tie mode, your battery inverter is disconnected from your distribution panel but one of the breakers is charging the battery bank. If you want to go off-grid, you use the transfer switch to disconnect the utility and connect the battery inverter
Grid-tied solar with backup generator | DIY Solar Power Forum
I have a similar system to what you are describing: I have a 200A service with a backup generator and an automatic transfer switch for the generator. I also have a grid tied solar system backfeeding through the main panel. When my grid power goes out, there is a zero volt release switch that disconnects the house AC circuit from the inverter

The Ultimate Guide to Solar Automatic Transfer
A solar automatic transfer switch (ATS) is a device that automatically switches between two power sources, such as a grid-tied solar system and a backup generator. This is done in the event that the primary
Using a direct DC transfer solution to better back-up
But a direct DC transfer solution can provide a better way for grid-tied solar systems to provide battery backup power. This is because the DC transfer solution keeps the grid-tied system intact like an AC coupled solution
Automatic Transfer Switch
Look at the systems separately. The Solar panels/wind generator, charge controller(s), batteries, inverter, and loads need to be designed as a system independently from the transfer switch. (Stay within the specs) You will have a set number of hours or day(s) of autonomy. The reason for using the transfer switch is to be a "Reverse" UPS.
Grid-tied but grid down
I have an Enphase grid-tied system, with manual disconnect switch for the fire department. When the grid fails, how can I use power from my panels to run my refrigerator or gas furnace?

Grid-tied with battery backup suggestions : r/SolarDIY
In grid-tie mode, your battery inverter is disconnected from your distribution panel but one of the breakers is charging the battery bank. If you want to go off-grid, you use the transfer switch to disconnect the utility and connect the battery inverter into your distribution panel to get the lights back on. This is the old-school way of doing it.

Grid Tied / Inverter Question
My nighttime consumption exceeds 10kWh so battery drains to empty and then house is supplied from grid. As for transfer switch, the hybrid inverter is a UPS. If grid goes down, backup loads experience a glitch, then relay opens and hybrid inverter supplies them from PV and battery as an off-grid inverter.
