Distributed solar generation (DSG) has been growing over the previous years because of its numerous advantages of being sustainable, flexible, reliable, and increasingly affordable. DSG is a broad and multidisciplinary research field because it relates to various fields in engineering, social sciences, economics, public policy, and others.
Distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are projected to be a key contributor to future energy landscape, but are often poorly represented in energy models due to their distributed nature. They have higher costs compared to utility PV, but offer additional advantages, e.g., in terms of social acceptance.
Skip to: Distributed, grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) power poses a unique set of benefits and challenges. In distributed solar applications, small PV systems (5–25 kilowatts [kW]) generate electricity for on-site consumption and interconnect with low-voltage transformers on the electric utility system.
Properly planned and installed, distributed generation of solar power has many benefits to the owner and the community in general: It can save the owner a lot of money. It will reduce the load on grid generation, transmission and distribution facilities meaning a lesser infrastructure cost and hence cheaper energy.
Higher capacities of distributed solar and home batteries in the system means lower capacities of utility solar, utility batteries, and distribution grid, as shown in Fig. 4. Other major technologies like wind energy experience no significant difference without distributed generation, and their changes in capacity are below 5%.

Distributed Generation: What You Need to Know
Distributed generation (DG) is an all encompassing term for any kind of power generation that occurs on a smaller scale, close to where the energy is used. This can mean solar panels installed on rooftops, fuel-cells, some geothermal plants, or micro-turbines just to name a few. The key link between all of these sources is that they are smaller than utility scale …
