Duke energy is planning to invest $100 million in installing solar panels in nearly 850 North Carolina sites such as homes, schools, stores and factories.It has filed an application with the NC Utilities Commission seeing approval for this project.If this project is approved, a time period of two years would be needed for installing the related equipment on the customer sites.Duke, plans to own and operate his equipment and award the customer a fixed amount depending on the installation area and power generating capacity.

Distributed generation technology involves power production close to the power consumption sites rather than transmitting it from distant areas.This a a significant step in deciphering the nuances of distributed power generation technologies.If implemented correctly it can identify the potential bottlenecks and also serve as a tool for gauging the viability of solar power vis-à-vis small sites.
