Still trying to understand grid-tied inverters and anti-islanding and so on (in the UK if it makes a difference).
If an inverter detects when the grid is out and disconnects from it so as not to pump solar or battery power into it (helpful to the repair people!) I get the usefulness of that.
Now, depending on where that connection is, can the inverter still be connected to the consume unit and so power the house via battery and any solar? I know some inverters have a critical loads output which is always on, but I'm thinking more generally of inverters that could run the house (up to the level of the inverters output, obviously) without any intervention?
Reading a data sheet https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Datasheet-MultiPlus-II-inverter-charger-EN.pdf it seems to suggest this is possible, but I'd been led to believe it wasn't possible in the UK at least......
