Has this... really ever been true? We've had gas powered generators people can plug into their homes for a rather long time now, and they would be doing the exact same thing as solar installations.
It depends on where you are mainly, but I do believe the kit that prevents what you describe, is functionally mandatory to have for solar. Not certain on that, and it definitely still depends on locale, but I haven't seen any without that lockout in a loooonging time.
Yes any professionally installed solar kit is going to have that liability prevention included with the design. That person is just spouting bullshit from some half-learned information.
I built my own solar offgrid power station, and I didn't install that protection, but it's also a completely off the grid power source so it doesn't matter. I installed a dedicated ground and breaker for it and it works as a standalone power source.
