The ''solar duck curve'' refers to the instability caused when large amounts of solar energy are fed back into the grid. This power surge of renewable energy puts a strain on the existing grid system, and if not monitored closely, can cause large-scale blackouts (remember SA''s 2016 blackouts ).
In large-scale solar thermal power plants, the energy conversion unit is usually a steam turbine, and the first two components dominate LCOE for typical large-scale concentrated solar power plants that have a capacity over 50 MW e. 98 For distributed desalination, however, the power input ranges from a few hundred kW e (for systems with brine disposal) to a few MW e (for

DSPV (Distributed solar PV) power, either located on rooftops or ground-mounted, is by far one of the most important and fast-growing renewable energy technologies. Since the second half of 2012, China has shifted from LSPV (large-scale solar PV) to DSPV and a series of policy to promote DSPV power deployment have been put in place.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) power is currently, after hydro and wind power, the third most important renewable energy source in terms of globally installed capacity.
