No, because you can kill a lineman working on the downed line, who mistakenly thinks the line is dead and has no idea that you’re feeding power into it from your solar panel.
A 120W panel at full sunlight easily has enough power to kill someone. That’s 1A at 120V, minus some conversion losses. 120W is pretty low end these days.

The inverters are built with an automatic shut off during grid outages, specifically for lineman safety.
I really feel like one of these store-bought solar panels wouldn’t put out enough electricity to kill someone
You really don’t need a lot of power to kill someone, especially with AC you really don’t need much to induce ventricular fibrillation.

Those inverters can’t backfeed, they need a grid to synchronise to.
