Small, “balcony solar” units hold particular appeal for renters who cannot install rooftop panels and could take portable units with them should they move.

Each unit has its own inverter that uses the line frequently to sync. Current won’t flow from the panels without the line already being active.
The panels are basically inert by design without companion home current, which is also why they are safe for lineman during outages. This makes them useless as backup power however, but that isn’t their intended use case.
thank you for the clarification!
