Regular grid tied solar can modulate output like a DC coupled system.

I was reading through the SCE website and with the latest regulations, I seriously doubt they will allow a self done grid-tied install.

If I do it, it will not be grid tied at all - totally separate. As far as Edison is concerned it will appear to them that I just began using a lot less power.
