I am still not sure why I can't have a hybrid system with a grid tie and batteries. When my batteries are topped off and all my loads satisfied, I will share with FPL. The grid tie will work the same and the inverter is still the same, it is just part of my load would be batteries. The only difference is when the transfer equipment switched me off the grid in a power outage, I would still be producing power after the sun went down. (from my batteries)
Basically it is just a UPS at that point.
Net metering assumes you don't use much power during the day. With an air conditioner going, that is probably not going to be true.
