How to connect a PV solar system to the utility grid

There are two basic approaches to connecting a grid-tied solar panel system, as shown in the wiring diagrams below. The most common is a "LOAD SIDE" connection, made AFTER the main breaker.

How Does a Solar Farm Connect to the Grid?

All solar farms connect to a specific point on the electrical grid, the vast network of wires that connects every power generation plant to every home and business that consumes power.

Electric Transmission and Transmission Facilities

For newly constructed solar energy power plants, if no existing suitable transmission facilities were available, new transmission lines and associated facilities would be required.

Solar Power and the Electric Grid, Energy Analysis (Fact Sheet)

Grid-connected, distributed generation sources such as rooftop PV and small wind turbines have substantial potential to provide electricity with little impact on land, air pollution, or CO2 emissions.

Photovoltaics and electricity

PV systems can supply electricity in locations where electricity distribution systems (power lines) do not exist, and they can also supply electricity to electric power grids.
