Utility-scale projects either connect directly to a substation or a transmission line of 69 kV or higher. Unless a solar farm is installed next to transmission lines or substations, the solar contractor needs to install a generation tie to connect the clean energy project to the grid.
Most residential and small commercial PV projects can connect to the power grid without equipment modifications beyond the meter. However, because of the scale and voltage of larger projects, this often isn’t the case, and interconnection is typically more complex.
Solar farms connect to the grid by converting the direct current (DC) generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) through inverters. The AC electricity is then transmitted to a substation within the solar farm, where it is further transformed and connected to the broader electrical grid.
The system must be installed, inspected, and approved by the utility provider. Now, the solar system has the authorization to operate and connect to the utility grid because it fulfills all the interconnection requirements. How Long Can Commercial Interconnection Take?
The grid connection and interconnection agreements are essential components of the solar project development process. Utility coordination and technical requirements must be thoroughly understood to ensure that the project is compliant with the relevant regulations.
