These requirements are designed to give utilities a greater degree of monitoring and control over distributed renewable energy systems. As the number of utility-interconnected power generation systems come online, there becomes a greater need to ensure grid control and stability. CA Rule 21 is designed to smooth the transition by mandating more sophisticated smart inverter functionality. SMA inverters have stepped up to that challenge.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to expanded grid management functions, CA Rule 21 paves the way for new revenue streams using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smainverted.com\/a-new-era-in-power-the-promise-of-virtual-power-plants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virtual Power Plant (VPP) technology<\/a>. A VPP is a network of distributed energy sources that are aggregated into a single cloud-based point of control at the utility. In order to fully capitalize on VPP opportunities, inverter manufacturers must keep pace with evolving grid requirements including those of CA Rule 21.<\/p>\n<p>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sma-america.com\/newsroom\/current-news\/news-details\/news\/4094-sma-america-is-the-first-and-only-inverter-supplier-compliant-to-new-california-energy-commissi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">press release<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;117418&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Interconnect Your Residential and Commercial Projects Faster with Less Risk&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 1px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px; height: 22px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 17.6px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\"><\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class='printomatic pom-default ' id='id8881'  data-print_target='article'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t get left behind when mandatory compliance of California Rule 21 Phase 2 and 3 goes into effect on March&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":117419,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1314],"tags":[1417,1675,1642,1442],"class_list":["post-117418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company","tag-commercial-solar","tag-core1","tag-residential-solar","tag-sunny-boy"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Interconnect Your Residential and Commercial Projects Faster with Less Risk - Sunny.
