6 FAQs about [Requirements for home photovoltaic energy storage equipment to access the network]

What are the requirements for solar power plants?

The solar power plants shall comply with the requirements specified in Section 5.3 of the Performance Code of the Grid Code and/or the related part in the Electricity Distribution Code.

Can a solar plant be connected to a LV or MV network?

Depending on its capacity, a solar plant can be connected to LV, MV, or HV networks. Successful connection of a medium-scale solar plant should satisfy requirements of both the Solar Energy Grid Connection Code (SEGCC) and the appropriate code: the Electricity Distribution Code (EDC) or the Grid Code (GC) as the connection level apply.

What are the segcc requirements for solar power plants?

The SEGCC specifies the special requirements for connecting both Medium-Scale Solar Plants (MSSPs) and Large-Scale Solar Plants (LSSPs) to the distribution networks or to the transmission network according to the capacity of the solar power plant. The capacity of MSSPs’ range is from 500 kW to less than 20 MW.

What are the requirements for solar grid protection?

The grid protection settings in the solar plants must comply with the requirements stipulated in the SEGCC, unless otherwise agreed with the transmission system operator. At the PCC, the grid protections shall be in compliance with the protection code of the Grid Code .

Do solar power plants need a utility code?

It is recommended to refer to the full versions of the concerned codes to comply with detailed grid connection requirements and successful operation of the solar power systems. Academic researchers are advised to follow the requirements of utility codes in performing research works related to integrating solar power plants into grids.

What is the minimum array area requirement for a solar PV inverter?

Although the RERH specification does not set a minimum array area requirement, builders should minimally specify an area of 50 square feet in order to operate the smallest grid-tied solar PV inverters on the market.
