Connection to the National Grid
From Commercial & Agricultural
As a PV system generates electricity and is connected to the National Grid, it has an impact on the Grid. The local DNO (Distribution Network Operator) requires an application to be made detailing the proposed generator. They then assess the likely impact of the generator on the surrounding Network and assess if it is possible to connect the system. They will reply with either a yes, a yes with minor costs for required upgrades or a yes with a large cost for a significant upgrade.
