Yeah, legally that's what it needs to do at that point in the system. if you want a solar system to be energized during an outage, you have to have what's called a "Grid-forming" inverter (as opposed to grid-following) and it would likely need to connect up at the utility connection point

This particular type of home solar implementation runs into a scalability issue where each piece is hard-limited by the ampacity of the outlet its plugged into, so at a certain point it can only scale out to be plugged into more outlets and take up more space.
Also, having a system thay feeds into an outlet is quite scary, since the male side of the plug is energized. I get the convenience of this "plug and play" sort of device, but I'd much prefer to see something hardwired and enclosed.
Even if it does take 2 hours start to finish, I have to imagine there's at least SOME part of the recipe that involves waiting for something to cook. That's dishwashing time right there.
I'm more frustrated by the haste with which it's implemented. I've seen (secondhand) instances of this Google search AI spitting out results that are either flat-out wrong (e.g., presenting fan theories as fact in response to a question about warhammeer 40k), or actively harmful (e.g., recommending self harm in response to a search for "how do I stop crying")
It takes every path available, and with high enough voltage, more paths become available
Don't remember where I heard it first, but I always love to hear it.

"AHJ" is an acronym for "authority having jurisdiction", commonly used to talk about "The person who decides what's legal or not in this situation"
Sovcit here is calling it an ALJ (presumably "authority lacking jurisdiction") as a smug attempt to say "um actually your silly laws don't apply to me"

It is! Here in the US, that's the word used by the National Electric Code to talk about current carrying capacity
