Interconnection Processes and Landscape

The continued growth of the distributed solar market in the U.S. has spurred electric utilities, regulators, and stakeholders to consider improvements to distributed generation (DG) interconnection processes. More than 475,000 solar energy systems were interconnected in the U.S. by the end of 2013, and 1 million are expected by the end of 2017.
