      I’m assuming it’s one of the systems that plugs right into an outlet to synchronize with mains power?

      I know those cut power if mains power goes down, but is there a built-in way to still use the panels for powering stuff not through the wall?

      For example, if your power goes down, is there a socket on the inverter that you could plug your computer into or something like that?

      Obviously, it wouldn’t be hard to just keep an extra inverter or a portable power station on hand, but I’m curious what the mainstream devices provide.
