Title reads like at ad, but this is a new way to reach energy independence. I actually have a small EcoFlow device and it’s pretty good for the price.
I hope this tech can be made available in the US soon.

Should not be via a standard wall jack. As far as I know.
Depends on electrical code which depends on, most of all, your standard plugs. In Germany Schuko is deemed non-optimal, but acceptable, for up to 800W.
…no issues regarding exposed prongs, if the inverter doesn’t see AC to sync to it doesn’t output anything. It’s not a dumb spinny magnet generator we’re talking about here.
Most people don’t have an outlet on their balcony, though, and weather-proofing the thing is an issue in any case so while you’re at it you can just as well put in a proper Wieland outlet. 20 bucks or so, the expensive part will be the electrician not the outlet.
Eh, that’s pretty standard where I live. Didn’t even know there were non standard wall jacks lol
If it has anti islanding at least it’s unlikely to be a shock hazard.
That said are there any other concerns I’m missing?

This particular product says it’s 800W max. Most residential wall outlets installed in the last 30 years should be able to handle that (in the US). Also, it’s a product only available in Europe at the moment where they do 220 through the wall, so less than 4 amps which is stupidly low.
Yes, being able to power your whole house through a single outlet is insane. Unless your house draws less than 800W
That’s what anti islanding is.
Prevents power from going into the grid when it’s down.
Way I read it is it puts surplus into the grid to keep you elec bills down.
800 watts isn’t exactly going to set an outlet on fire.
