A residential photovoltaic system has been connected to China’s State electrical grid for the first time.
That accomplishment occurred in Qingdao, Shandong province, giving evidence of the country’s desire to promote the use of solar power.
“From Dec 22, when it was connected to the grid, to Dec 25, the system generated 17.08 kilowatt-hours,” said Xu Pengfei, owner of the system. “This will be enough for our household electricity needs and the surplus can be sold to the State Grid.”
Local authorities said this is the first project to take advantage of a service that the State Grid Corp of China, which transmits and distributes power in the country, introduced to allow small producers of photovoltaic solar power to connect to the national grid from the start of November.
