This is why most of the restart of the grid is being done as the solar input tappers out I suspect. The grid was pretty much down during peak sun and started coming back online around 5:30 pm or later.

> I mean if you are restarting the grid and say you have a segment you think has 5MW of load that will come online, but you connect it and a minute or two later suddenly 2MW of grid tied solar detects the grid and starts exporting and you now have 3MW of load it is going to make it much more tricky to balance the restart.

I really thought that sentence was going to end with "it makes it a lot easier to handle that segment".

Yeah you have some big problems if it's a complete surprise, but your status quo monitoring would have to be very strangely broken for it to be a complete surprise. Instead it should be a mild complicating factor while also being something that reduces your load a lot and lets you get things running quicker.
