It is also interesting to read up how this plays into black start plans for the european power grid. You would think solar parks make black starts ... "easy" - just turn them on and have some power, but due to the inverter functions, that's not the case. Instead, one of the plans I've read about has to start a few black start capable power-plants first to get some kind of phase into the grid. Then you can bring consumers and solar parks online until there is enough load on the grid to bring up larger power plants, while the quick-reacting solar parks are taken online and offline to balance the grid so it never has too much or too little load on it.
