Solving the Photovoltaic Panel Saturation Problem: Network Adaptations and Compensation Options

2023-06-05 19:56:46

Too many photovoltaic panels and a network that saturates. The phenomenon becomes recurrent. When the sunshine is high, it can happen that the electricity network of a district is overloaded by solar production. In this case, the inverter of the photovoltaic panels “stalls”. In other words, it goes into safety to protect the installation and it no longer produces electricity.

On the set of QR l’actu, the head of communication for Ores recognizes the problem but according to him, this does not call into question the profitability of the panels any more than the tax: “Photovoltaic is still profitable. There is indeed a “prosumer” tariff which has been set up by the cwape and the Walloon region for each one contributes to the network costs”.

However, the unhooking of the inverters causes the holders of photovoltaic panels to lose production and therefore money. So can the network be adapted to avoid such dropouts? To hear Jean-Michel Brébant, adaptations are possible at the level of the distribution cabin in certain places within a short time, but for that, the network manager must be aware. So do not hesitate to warn either Ores or Resa. But for a fully adapted network, it will take several years.

If the network is not suitable, can we be compensated? “On the Ores side, we are not against this compensation, it is also being studied by Philippe Henry’s cabinet, but this must not become the rule. Our primary goal is to improve the network and to be able to satisfy all users”.
