My thinking is that the ideal way is to try and use all of what your Solar system produces to minmise the pay back period .

This is the best way to use solar when you are not receiving a good pay back on your sold power.
Installing batteries etc. would lead to an off grid system which requires a whole new licence. A straight out electrical contractor or on grid solar installer can not sign off on an off grid system. You need to find an off grid solar installer. Sounds stupid but that's my take on the rules.
Of course you could go to Jaycar, buy a solar panel to charge a car battery and then run low voltage cable direct to your LED lights. Who's to stop people do that. That's what higher electricity prices will do.
