4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Photovoltaic panel interconnection method"

What is a solar interconnection?

Interconnections are part of all solar installations. Understanding the ins and outs of solar interconnection methods can be a bit perplexing given the various service equipment setups and local regulations. When hooking up your solar PV system to the existing electrical system, it's crucial to tread carefully.

Are PV systems interconnected to the grid?

While the number of PV systems interconnected to the grid has increased significantly over the last decade, only recently have PV systems been installed in major metropolitan areas and tied to electric distribution secondary network systems (networks).

Can a PV system be interconnected at the load side?

Common in small PV systems, the main service disconnect at the customer facility has enough margin to handle the extra capacity added by the PV system, and that allowed an interconnection at the load side. NEC permits that type of interconnection providing the following conditions (we will only mention the technical-related issues):

Do you need an interconnection application for a PV system?

Utility companies usually require an interconnection application to be submitted to their interconnection department to gather the necessary information about the proposed system. The account holder or the contractor who designs and installs the PV system may submit the application.
