It sounds like some of the early grid-tie inverters of 20-30 years ago. You need panels, battery, and a current sink (like a BIG tank of water with a resistance heater). Power from the panels went to household loads, then to the battery, then down the sink or, if you hit the sell button, onto the grid.
In "guerilla solar" (unpermitted) installations, the meter ran backwards in sell mode, something you didn't want to be happening when the meter reader came along. In simple guerilla setups you left out the battery and current dump, and just ran all the excess onto the grid. All the inverters on the market had appropriate shutdown when the grid went unstable. Looking back on it, I think the dump was needed for wind turbines, not solar panels. Solar-only charge controllers just let the solar go open circuit if the power was unwanted.
