Surplus interconnection, which allows new energy projects to plug into existing interconnection infrastructure at plants with low capacity
Solar systems integration involves developing technologies and tools that allow solar energy onto the electricity grid, while maintaining grid reliability, security, and efficiency.
Energy storage can provide multiple grid services. It can support grid stability, shift energy from times of peak production to peak
Surplus electricity in off-grid PV projects can be effectively managed through energy storage integration, optimized system design, and smart control systems. These solutions enhance
Energy storage can provide multiple grid services. It can support grid stability, shift energy from times of peak production to peak consumption, and reduce peak demand.

If a home uses a large supply of solar energy and produces more electricity than it consumes, the surplus electricity is typically sent back to the power grid, often through net
Any electrical power grid must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from solar and wind sources varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less than a second to weeks or longer. Nuclear power is less flexible than fossil fuels, meaning it cannot easily match the variations in demand. Thus, low-carbon electricity without storage presents special challenges to electric utilities.

Surplus interconnection, which allows new energy projects to plug into existing interconnection infrastructure at plants with low capacity factors, could nearly double the
These systems help balance supply and demand by storing excess electricity from variable renewables such as solar and inflexible sources like nuclear power, releasing it when needed.
Surplus interconnection can preserve jobs and tax revenues in energy communities instead of letting aging facilities become stranded assets, while making these areas more attractive to
The Electrical GridPower ElectronicsSolar Plus StorageGrid Resilience and ReliabilitySince solar energy can only be generated when the sun is shining, the ability to store solar energyfor later use is important: It helps to keep the balance between electricity generation and demand. This means that developing batteries or thermal storage is key to adding more solar.See more on energy.gov
