6 FAQs about [Solar power grid connection approval]
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.
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.
Do I need permission to supply energy to the grid?
For larger systems (anything above a 3.68kW output), the DNO needs to give permission before you can start supplying energy to the grid. They will investigate whether the grid in your area can handle the extra energy that your system generates, and will identify any improvements that might need to be made in order for it to do so.
How to connect a solar power system?
Whenever you want to connect a solar power system, you must complete a DNO application with the relevant distribution network operator. This allows them to accurately calculate the necessary electricity. The documentation required depends on the size of the solar generator.
Do I need a certification to install a solar PV system?
To be eligible for the FIT, both your installer and your solar PV system must be certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. Is a connection to the grid guaranteed?
Can I register a Solar System Under 16A?
You can register solar system projects under 16A (3.68kW) per phase after installation, but systems exceeding this need approval before installation. Learning about DNO applications can make the process smooth and easy when installing solar panels, battery storage, an electric vehicle (EV) charge point, or a heat pump.
