Distributed photovoltaic (PV) power generation refers to installing PV systems (solar photovoltaic panels) in distributed locations, such as residential buildings, commercial buildings, or industrial parks. Unlike traditional centralized PV power generation, distributed PV systems have the following characteristics:
Local power generation: Photovoltaic power generation systems are installed where electricity is needed, generating electricity locally and saving transmission losses and grid capacity.
Increase the coverage area for power generation: By distributing photovoltaic panels in multiple locations, the coverage area for power generation can be increased, thereby improving energy efficiency.
Diverse applications: Photovoltaic panels can be installed in various spaces such as rooftops, walls, and parking sheds, offering flexibility and versatility.
Reduced dependence on the power grid: Distributed photovoltaic power generation systems can use some or all of the electricity generated for their own consumption, thus reducing dependence on the power grid.
Reduce environmental impact: Reduce the impact of long-distance power transmission lines on the ecological environment and promote the use of clean energy.
The application of distributed photovoltaic power generation systems can provide renewable energy to buildings, and at the same time, it can be interconnected with the power grid through "surplus electricity to the grid" to supply excess electricity to the grid, thereby realizing the two-way flow of energy.
In some countries and regions, governments also encourage the application of distributed photovoltaic power generation systems by providing subsidies or electricity purchase incentives to encourage residents and businesses to install photovoltaic power generation systems, in order to promote the use of clean energy and reduce dependence on traditional fossil fuels.
