4 FAQs about Site requirements for solar power frequency inverter

What are the requirements for a solar inverter?

The specific requirements and timing of this phase have not yet been implemented. To comply with the current phase of Rule 21, the main thing you need to know is that the inverter you select for your solar design must be one that has been certified under UL 1741-SA; consult the CEC database to be sure.

What are the control requirements for a solar PV plant?

The typical control requirements are anything involving production, in terms of megawatts and mega-VARs, (active and reactive power). Optimally, a solar PV plant appears to the grid as a single, unified source of power. The goal is to maximize power output (and, therefore, revenue) while supporting a stable and reliable grid.

How do inverters provide grid services?

In order to provide grid services, inverters need to have sources of power that they can control. This could be either generation, such as a solar panel that is currently producing electricity, or storage, like a battery system that can be used to provide power that was previously stored.

Are solar inverters required in California?

In the fall of 2017, California became the first U.S. state to require the use of advanced, or “smart,” inverters in solar projects (and other forms of distributed electricity generation).
