Your solar system most likely won't island, unless you have a powerwall or similar. They're designed to shut off if no grid feed to stop accidentally frying workers doing repairs.
Standalone freezer? Could hold if you don't open it. Icebox? Cook those fuckers and extend their lifespan.
My power came back early morning I'm currently experiencing a weird thing were I think my power isn't stable so I can see all my lights dimming and getting brighter all at the same time.
Don't think devices are properly being powered either as my air con unit was going berserk with beeping and woke me up.
