What is distributed photovoltaic power generation? What are its advantages?

2025-07-31
Distributed photovoltaic power generation refers to photovoltaic power generation facilities built and operated at or near user sites. Its main characteristics are that users generate and use their own electricity, with excess electricity being connected to the grid, and the power distribution network balancing and regulation. Distributed photovoltaic power generation adheres to the principles of adapting to local conditions, being clean and efficient, decentralized, and utilizing local resources. It fully utilizes local solar resources to replace and reduce fossil energy consumption.

 Distributed photovoltaic power generation and centralized photovoltaic power generation

 The main differences lie in power generation scale, grid connection method, and operation and maintenance management. Distributed photovoltaic power generation typically has a smaller installed capacity, generally within a few thousand kilowatts, and is suitable for densely populated areas such as cities and rural areas. It connects to the distribution network through low-voltage lines, making operation and maintenance relatively simple. Centralized photovoltaic power generation, on the other hand, concentrates large-scale photovoltaic power stations in areas with abundant sunlight resources, transmits electricity through high-voltage transmission networks, and is more complex to operate and maintain.

 Distributed photovoltaic power generation has the following advantages:

 Flexibility and efficiency: Distributed photovoltaic power stations can be flexibly deployed on building roofs, walls, and other locations to meet specific user needs. Local Utilization: Electricity is generated, connected to the grid, and used locally, reducing losses during voltage boosting and long-distance transportation.

Environmental Benefits: Distributed photovoltaic power generation helps reduce fossil energy consumption and carbon emissions, offering significant environmental benefits.

Policy Support: The government has policies supporting distributed photovoltaic power generation, encouraging its use in locations such as building rooftops, and promoting the development of clean energy.
