Yes, power only during sun time. Connected to the grid.
I don't remember all the calculations, but we figured the big power users are the AC units, clothes dryer, car charger, and pool heater. We plan to alter our lifestyles to maximize daytime use. Run the clothes dryer during the day. Set the timers on the car charger and pool heater to run them during the day. The AC naturally runs less at night. The batteries just didn't pencil out.
