Most systems I’ve interacted with used what’s called an ats, automatic transfer switch, to be sure you’re not energizing the grid so one can self support in an emergency.

I’ve never seen a system so far that wouldn’t run isolated, but maybe I’ve been lucky 🤷

Sheesh I didn’t know the inverters may not run without a grid reference. Where have you seen that, what a terrible idea!

LOL imagine they skimped on a 555 generating 60Hz when in local mode.

Shouldn’t be a big change, the transmission system is the same no matter the prime mover.

When fires melted power lines near where I used to live in soCal, SCE would have trucks roll in, dig in new power poles and run the cable. Power restored within about a week, so long as they had stock on transformers.
