I'm guessing the commenter above is in the EU and operating at 50Hz normally, so running at 60Hz wouldn't be a great idea. A backup battery and such operate in the same way when islanding.
IIRC some inverters are able to sync up with alternative power sources, but the documentation is extremely limited and seems to be reserved mostly for large-scale systems. I know my Solaredge system has slowly been implementing using both at the same time, but the documentation is pretty unclear as to how this works. I know at the very least it'll allow you to use a 2-wire start to kick a standalone generator on when the batteries are low, but don't know much else about how it's currently set up
