National policy on solar power grid connection
Actions to expand generation and consumption of solar and wind energy are seen in three distinct arenas: (1) incentivizing renewable energy production and use, (2) increasing the use of public lands for solar and wind energy projects, and (3) expanding electricity transmission. . Actions to expand generation and consumption of solar and wind energy are seen in three distinct arenas: (1) incentivizing renewable energy production and use, (2) increasing the use of public lands for solar and wind energy projects, and (3) expanding electricity transmission. . Interconnection standards define how a distributed generation system, such as solar photovoltaics (PVs), can connect to the grid. In some areas of the United States, the interconnection process lacks consistent parameters and procedures for connecting to the grid or is unnecessarily complex. This. . While renewable energy systems are capable of powering houses and small businesses without any connection to the electricity grid, many people prefer the advantages that grid-connection offers. This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at www.
