First off, I’d like to state that the following post is about the challenges of handling residential production, not about industrial renewable setups.

The grid going down is game over. Once you’re at this point, there are already people going hurt. The way inverters react to this is irrelevant.

The thing making home setups not a source energy utilities would want to pay much for is that they bring no service to the grid (frequency and voltage management, ability to be turned off when the grid manager wants, reactive production management).

The part where people get hurt is that in overproduction events, the grid manager has no way to cut that production or even single homes, so they sometimes have to cut whole neighborhoods. That did happen already, even if it’s not a common thing.
