I agree that it may not be powering the house now, but it they easily 'trigger' it because a battery system will have a "transfer switch" to disconnect from the grid (so they can use the system during power outages).  Even when there is grid power (such as now), they can hit a manual transfer switch (including a manual way to activate an automatic switch) to disconnect from the grid and use the solar panels until the battery is drained.
