One of the many topics covered during the “Hot Spots” session was bridging the gap between Solar and Utilities sometimes known as the Duck Curve. The Duck Curve is known as the triple threat to utilities which includes straining the grid, threatening profits and adding stress to existing control and management systems. I’ve detailed a few of the solutions
-NEM is probably going to wholesale pricing. Many states have already made headway into removing NEM completely
-Residential property with battery storage, should solve the duck curve.
-Smart residential inverter controls will help utilities extend management over the duck curve problems.
Great stuff.
