TLDR: As a minimum, aim for battery storage equal to 25% of your daily usage, plus 2 kWh for backup. So if you use 20 kWh a day, don’t go smaller than a 7 kWh battery. It probably won’t last all night, but it’ll usually cover the expensive evening peak. How Much Battery Storage Do You Need? [pdf]

A battery does not necessarily need an inverter to function, but an inverter is typically required if you want to power AC devices from a battery, as batteries store DC electricity2. While inverters can operate without a battery, they function more effectively when connected to one, especially in off-grid situations3. It is advisable to connect your inverter to a battery to store generated energy, but it can also operate without one when connected to a continuous power source4. [pdf]
