    FAQs about Solar photovoltaic power station connected to the grid

    What is a grid connected PV system?

    Grid connected PV systems always have a connection to the public electricity grid via a suitable inverter because a photovoltaic panel or array (multiple PV panels) only deliver DC power. As well as the solar panels, the additional components that make up a grid connected PV system compared to a stand alone PV system are:

    Can a solar PV system be connected to the National Grid?

    While it is possible to have a solar PV system that is not connected to the National Grid, choosing not to connect means missing out on potentially lucrative incentive schemes like the government's Feed-In Tariff (FIT). Here is a list of FAQs on connecting to the National Grid.

    What is a photovoltaic power station?

    A photovoltaic power station, also known as a solar park, solar farm, or solar power plant, is a large-scale grid-connected photovoltaic power system (PV system) designed for the supply of merchant power.

    Why should a solar PV system be connected to the grid?

    For financial benefit. Connecting your solar PV system to the grid allows you to take advantage of the FIT, which gives you a fixed amount of money for each kWh of electricity you generate. On top of these payments for energy generation, you also receive a sum of money for feeding any surplus energy into the grid.

    How do I design a PV Grid connect system?
