Grid Tie w/ Micro Inverters... an alternative to tying into breaker

No, I''m not proposing an alternative. I''m wonder about the situation with my utility and my proposed grid-tied micro inverter system. If I understand correctly, the wiring from micro inverters in a grid tied system comes out of the safety disconnect (near meter socket ideally) and goes directly to a double pole breaker in my home''s load center panel.

How does a microinverter work?

Think of the connected grid voltage as a hand-crank. Every microinverter pushes the hand-crank, aka adds current to the grid, by pushing in the correct direction on the crank. It doesn't change the position of the crank, that trundles round almost unaffacted, but it does add its own push.

How does a grid-tied inverter work?

You connect a resistor to it. Current flows proportional to the voltage. If you want to draw a certain power, you connect a certain value resistor. The same thing happens in reverse when a grid-tied inverter wants to feed a certain amount of power into the grid. That amount of power is chosen by, let's say, the present value of its MPPT.

Does a microinverter have to synchronise?

@Thagomizer no, it has to synchronise to something, and that something is the local grid voltage. I like tomnexus' comment above to the question. Think of the connected grid voltage as a hand-crank. Every microinverter pushes the hand-crank, aka adds current to the grid, by pushing in the correct direction on the crank.
