"Flop around"? Each conductor is securely attached to insulators.
They are not physically twisted in a bundle, they just get an
electrical twist by having the phases change positions from pole to
pole. They call it transposition. It allows the lines to be balanced.

Oh, I thought you were saying that each *leg* consisted of three twisted conductors. I've never seen that but who knows what FPL might be doing.

Those solar panels aren't part of the grid, and have no "sync". Sunlight isn't 60 Hz.


The inverter will be grid tied so the transport to the house would be
in sync.


Of course, but it wasn't the feed to the house that I was talking about.
