EcoFlow’s $200 PowerStream is so clever, you might buy a $4,000 solar generator (www.theverge.com)

Title reads like at ad, but this is a new way to reach energy independence. I actually have a small EcoFlow device and it’s pretty good for the price.

I hope this tech can be made available in the US soon.

These systems automatically turn themselves off during an outage.

That's great, but it doesn't matter unless it has the physical cutoff that's required to bring that kind of system up to the current electrical code for such a system.

they have relays (well, most of them. looking at you, Deye), so it should be fine

Physical shutoff via relays is required by the standard. We've just been through a scandal where a manufacturer skimped out on putting them in and had to recall the devices.
