Distributed Energy Resources (DER) systems are a perfect solution for those interested in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing energy demands, and reducing grid failures. DER systems provide a resilient, affordable, and efficient power alternative solution.

DER systems are small-scale power generation and storage technologies that can be spread over a wide area, enabling microgrids or standing alone. They include rooftop solar panels, microturbines, small wind power systems, fuel cells, and solar/wind hybrid systems.

However, integrating and installing these systems comes with its fair share of safety certification challenges. As installers and integrators venture into this nascent and quickly evolving space, they are facing a host of challenges, particularly when navigating safety standards and identifying (and acquiring) the necessary certifications for their DER systems.

At CSA Group, we understand the challenges that come with integrating and installing Distributed Energy Resource (DER) systems and have developed a report that will help you navigate the complexities of DER certification. You will learn how to meet regulatory standards and acquire the necessary certifications for your DER systems.

The report covers:

• An overview of DER and microgrid systems
• DER applications for residential, commercial, and utilities
• Challenges with DER/MC system certification
• Solutions to meet certification requirements
