Inverter will supply the voltage required by the application.
Home grid tie in the USA is 240 vac. Backup power would surely be 120/240 vac service.
Industrial probably 3 phase 480 or 600 volts.
Utility I have no idea but probably 600+ and just stepped up with a transformer to the main or local switching voltage.
The Tesla battery supplies 350 to 450 volts DC that can easily be accommodated by an inverter. Most home solar grid tie go to 500 or 600+ vdc input using MPPT so very flexible input.

This is not your DIY stack of wet cell batteries. Your solution will be engineered and installed by professionals and yes that cost money. Last I read was close to $7,000 option on your total system install. Probably more if just stand alone.
