Implementation of Distributed Generation Focusing on Rooftop Solar Installations and Associated Technologies

Residential rooftop solar generation installations have been increasing at a fast pace over the last decade. As a result, utility companies are working to accommodate the distributed generation (DG) being connected to the electrical grid. DG resources are quickly driving changes in how the grid is used by end users. The rapid change has created several problems for utility companies including overvoltage, efficiency concerns, and voltage fluctuations causing flicker for customers. However, utilities are exploring options to accommodate the rise in DG and, more specifically, residential rooftop photovoltaics (PV).

Implementation of Distributed Generation Focusing on Rooftop Solar Installations and Associated Technologies

Companies within the distributed generation industry are developing new technologies that work with current distribution systems to allow for the connection of more residential photovoltaic systems. These technologies include: variable settings on inverters, smart inverters and battery storage for photovoltaic systems.
