    In a local grid where the electric company actually allows you to feed back power it must also be possible to disconnect the generator automatically if your inverter detects the grid is down. Because of that these power companies typically only allow approved solar power systems to get connected to the grid to make sure it’s one that will disconnect.

    Also be warned that you must plug in any generator as close to the breaker box as possible. Outlets and their wiring far away may be underdimensioned for powering anything significant further away. Also be warned that everything you’re powering together must be limited by the dimensions of the one outlet you’re using. The wires don’t know any difference between AC in or AC out. For example it’s max 10A? Then that’s your limit for everything combined.
