Shouldn't that be auto-islanding?
No it's "anti"-islanding.

This is so a solar inverter cannot function as an "island of power" on the grid and supply it when the rest of the grid is down.

Note that all grid tie inverters need not only to connect power, but also to be synchronised and in phase with the grid to do so. So grid inverters actually use the grid for frequency control as well, so unless you have a off-grid inverter that can create its own frequency timing, a "disconnected" grid inverter can't actually stay on.

FYI, it looks like the corresponding Ford option is
19.2 kW (vs 11.5 Tesla)
  • 240v 80 amps
  • 120v 160 amps

Ford Charge Station Pro specifications link:

It seems like the CT has just borrowed the 11.5kW Powerwall 3 bi-directional charger.

Hopefully it still has the MPPT solar inputs on it too...that would be awesome.

That would be 6x 3.3kW or 20kW of solar on the MPPT.

But that's probably on a different PCB and they left it out because it's fairly substantial.
But maybe there's a unpopulated connection point at least on the inverter? Dunno.
