Anatomy of new rules for solar + batteries on the grid

California has adopted new rules, the ​“Limited Generation Profile option”, for connecting solar and battery storage to the grid. These rules took 4 years. Advocates said solar with batteries can help the grid by holding back power at times and adding power when the grid needs it. Others say that this solution will not be as costly to upgrade the grid while offering increased resiliency. It is said that California’s grid mapping technology that contains accurate information on the hour-by-hour capacity of individual circuits is pivotal under the new rule.
