Mark What you are saying is to AC couple but most likely this would fail as your battery fills not enough loads HBCO or to much loads and your battery does a LBCO, either way you would be better off spending the money in a maybe a Outback Skybox easy install and is high voltage PV input and even a

Mark, I believe that your plan would fail because you are forcing power to flow through the XP inverter backwards to charge the batteries. I don't believe the XP inverter can do that. The grid tied inverter would probably connect then immediately shut down, or connect and immediately ruin the
