Comment on Cheap solar power is sending electrical grids into a death spiralparent

Comments

Zero export inverters are grid-tied but monitor the meter/CTs for load changes in order to curtail solar production/shift it to battery charging. I think they can technically backfeed a little bit if load is suddenly dumped depending on the inverter response time. Some have a secondary hard disconnect for additional protection.

Thanks for the info, that clears things up!
