The battery is still useful because it means most nights I don't draw down any mains power, so it saves me usage costs. It takes two very overcast days in a row to drain the battery at my normal usage. And most days it charges to full with enough time to spare to feed-in to the grid a bit.

I think in an outage there are issues with feeding into the grid because of safety. But I'm not sure on the details.

But yeah I do wish it would at least be able to keep the fridge running. Even if it required me to manually switch it over.
