How does a solar / PV inverter get preference over grid source

From what I read in the answers here and around the internet I came to a conclusion that the solar PV inverter works as a current source rather than voltage source. Since the current always flows from a higher potential to a lower potential the inverter is trying to pull up the AC output above the grid just enough to get rid of the power generated from the solar panels.
