The objectives of this FOA are to 1) develop the needed modeling tools and database of experience with high penetration scenarios of PV on a distribution system, 2) develop monitoring, control and integration systems to enable cost-effective widespread deployment of small modular PV systems and 3) demonstrate the integration of PV and energy storage into Smart Grid applications. This will accelerate the placement of high levels of PV penetration into existing or newly designed distribution circuits. The achievement of these goals will facilitate increased growth of grid-tied PV installations, thus supporting the Solar Energy Technolgy Program apos;s (SETP) mission to accelerate widespread commercialization of clean solar energy technologies in the United States (U.S.).
