    Again, it doesn’t matter what inverter you buy, they can’t tell the difference between off grid and grid off. So if it shuts off when it doesn’t detect voltage, then it won’t work off grid. Which makes it sound like you’re saying off-grid inverters are illegal.

      They detect incoming frequency, not voltage. And yes, they absolutely detect the difference, I have one, it works exactly like this.

        How do you detect the frequency of voltage that doesn’t exist? Hold a wire up in the air and measure the frequency and let me know what you find.

          I mean…if there is no grid frequency detected it automatically breaks connection between the house and the grid and keeps supplying the house from the panels and batteries. When it detects grid frequency again it reconnects the house to grid. It’s a fairly simple concept.

            Okay now try again but there is no grid.
