Tom Key, Electric Power Research Institute. Distributed photovoltaic (PV) systems currently make an insignificant contribution to the power balance on all but a few utility distribution systems.
However, compared to centralized PV, distributed systems often have a smaller scale, resulting in relatively higher installation costs. The disparities between distributed PV and centralized PV power generation primarily revolve around scale, installation location, and cost considerations.
However, the intermittency of the panel output cannot be directly managed, and it is unclear how much distributed PV the electrical grid will be able to support.
