The flexibility of this design is offered by the need to adopt less wiring, while the smaller footprint is significantly important especially for small scale

Probably not. If you have solar and the power goes out, your power will go out, too—unless you have a backup system. This is because U.S. electrical code requires rapid shutdown of a solar system to protect emergency workers and prevent dangerous backfeed current from passing onto distribution lines.
