Solar PV inverters must receive their source frequency from the grid.

If the grid is off, so are your inverters. It’s part of their UL rating.

So if you green power system uses Solar PV inverters, and the grid is off, so are your inverters and your local power?

Thanks

A hybrid system will provide it’s own 60hz sync if the grid goes down. All the solar “save money” company’s do not install hybrid inverters though as they cost a bit more.
