I believe functionally, just the inverter itself is all you need to sell power. However, the inverter has no provision for making adjustments or local override (beyond an on/off switch input for the inverter).
If you need to adjust settings, you will need to buy or at least borrow a Mate interface. The inverter will keep settings once they have been made, so you don't need to always have the Mate, if you can find someone who will let you borrow one.
However, the Mate would also allow you to override control in real time. Push a button to start selling or stop, switch to battery-power or go back to grid, so forth. Also lets you see the inverter's voltage/current measurements (although I find the AC measurements on mine to be rather coarse and not particularly accurate). Besides just being convenient to make tweaks from time to time.
