The bill cleared the Assembly and Senate with bipartisan support on Wednesday night and now goes to Governor Gavin Newsom. If he signs it, compatible systems could...
I’ve read that balcony solar systems do include circuitry so they automatically stop supplying power if they detect that there is no power being supplied by the outlet.
I suspect the circuit tracks the sine wave curve of the incoming grid power (like a zero voltage switch circuit does). If so, the shut off will occur in a fraction of 1/60th of a second.
About the second point: it appears they will need the same grid intertie circuitry that inverters need …
“…and include equipment that prevents power from flowing back to the grid during an outage”

I wonder how fast that shut off is. Will it prevent a shock if you unplug and touch the male plug?
