| - | A grid tied PV system is a passive system, before CA rule 21 and HECO rule 14H, the PV inverters always generate as much power as they can output. even after CA rule 21 and HECO rule 14H, the smart PV inverters has to support reactive power when the grid needs support, the PV system is still not scheduling power. | + | A grid-tied PV system is a passive system, before CA rule 21 and HECO rule 14H, the PV inverters always generate as much power as they can output. even after CA rule 21 and HECO rule 14H, the smart PV inverters has to support reactive power when the grid needs support, the PV system is still not scheduling power. |
