Grid interconnection of PV power generation system has the advantage of more effective utilization of generated power. However, the technical requirements from both the utility power system grid side and the PV system side need to be satisfied to ensure the safety of the PV installer and the reliability of the utility grid.
Grid-connected solar PV increased by about 300 MW in Japan and 70 MW in the United States. Several milestones occurred in 2005, such as the commissioning of the world's largest solar PV power plant, 10 MW total, in Germany, and many large commercial installations of tens and hundreds of kilowatts (kW) each.
Grid-connected PV systems enable consumers to contribute unused or excess electricity to the utility grid while using less power from the grid. The application of the system will determine the system’s configuration and size. Residential grid-connected PV systems are typically rated at less than 20 kW.
