I wonder if they use batteries and what kind.

Also whether the local electricians have jury rigged some kind of bottom up grid of their own.

Does anyone have information?

This video goes into Syria's electric grid, and how people have setup their solar installs. It shows batteries are used quite thoroughly, and doesn't appear to be grid-tied or formed into a micro-grid, AFAICT.
