Integrating the first few percentage points of variable renewables into generation poses few problems for most power systems. Beyond these levels however, power systems must be adapted and upgraded to take variable renewables into account.
In this way, the solar energy system installed reduces demand for power from the utility when the solar array is generating electricity – thus lowering the utility bill. These types of solar energy systems are also known as "on grid" or "battery-less" and they make up approximately 98 percent of the solar power systems installed today ...
