 Inertia.  Not magic but physics.   A store of energy that can be drawn

energy storage system could match that; domestic systems can't.
 

I'm convinced it's becoming necessary for small domestic systems
to servo the injected power to the grid frequency, just as is done
for large power plants. There is no need for massive storage; Each
contributes what he is able to. I *do* think the dP/dF will need to
be adjusted by some central authority to keep a stable system.
