Skip to: Distributed, grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) power poses a unique set of benefits and challenges. In distributed solar applications, small PV systems (5–25 kilowatts [kW]) generate electricity for on-site consumption and interconnect with low-voltage transformers on the electric utility system.
Traditional distribution planning procedures use load growth to inform investments in new distribution infrastructure, with little regard for DG systems and for PV deployment. Power systems can address the challenges associated with integrating distributed solar PV into the grid through a variety of actions.
Distributed solar generation (DSG) has been growing over the previous years because of its numerous advantages of being sustainable, flexible, reliable, and increasingly affordable. DSG is a broad and multidisciplinary research field because it relates to various fields in engineering, social sciences, economics, public policy, and others.
However, they require extensive land availability, making implementation challenging in densely populated urban and residential regions. On the other hand, distributed PV power generation focuses on installing PV systems at various sites, including residential, commercial, and industrial locations.
Based on estimations of the future solar PV market, we assumed that distributed PV installations will represent around 40 percent of the solar PV market in 2050, with the Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaics solution capturing the remaining 60 percent (US DOE, 2012; IEA, 2014).
Distributed solar PV generated 13.7 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2017, enough to power all the households in Beijing for 7.5 months. The accumulated installed capacity of distributed solar PV now accounts for 27.1 percent of China’s total solar PV installation.
From analysis, through design and finance, to commercial operation, DSD provides customized solar PV energy and energy storage solutions with exceptional outcomes.
