Are there any real bidirection chargers available?

That’s cause that made the acronym HIS. If they would have made is a HERs then we all know it would have been done right….

Yup, they chose the wrong phrase and acronym, Home Energy Replacement System.

Backup only runs your house when power is lost.

Bidirectional can feed energy to the grid or supplant use of the grid to gain cost advantages in cases of variable rate schedules or demand charges.

The Ford Home Integration System can do this, and is doing so in pilots with utilities around the country. The issue isn't the tech, it's the regulations and the utility policies.

That’s pretty much what I said in post 2.

And since the truck can accept up to 150 kW from DCFC, there would be little danger of providing too much DC power from the Delta inverter via solar.

That is only true when the battery is nowhere near full. When DC fast charging you'll see the charging power drops dramatically as the battery gets closer to full. This is one reason why the current "bug" that allows charging from solar by the Delta inverter is not really safe as it does not control/limit charging power based on the battery SOC.
