Forget about "selling power" back and concentrate on getting off the grid.
50k? That's like a 10+ sq foot house...

Most people can get fully hooked, with a buy back, for $10-$15k, then with rebates and a payment plan, it can be less than $2k down and less than the electric bill monthly.

You don't need a battery, but if so they're only about $2k each for the top of the line ones, or add in a home hydrogen generator for $2k, the solar powers it and it powers the house.
