I was just thinking about this and was wondering if I used a 4 gang switch box with light switches. 2 switches would run the same section of the home, but at different times. The bank switch would be on atleast as long as you have sufficient power. When the low power alarm sounds or at night when solar charging is nill, you turn the bank switch off then turn the grid switch on. Will this work? Also if it will work is there some type of blocking diode to put between the inverter and the grid switch so that it can be turned on before turning the bank switch off (vise versa) so as not to run power backwards into the inverter..
