The difference between distributed PV and centralized PV is in their scale, installation location, and cost.
Distributed PV refers to the installation of photovoltaic power generation equipment at residential, commercial, industrial, and other sites, which can generate electricity for own use, and can also export electricity to the grid. It has a small scale and can be installed flexibly according to local conditions, and has relatively high cost.
Centralized PV refers to the installation of large-scale photovoltaic power stations in remote areas or non-residential areas, with a generating capacity of more than tens of megawatts. It has a large scale and low cost, but needs to occupy a large area and is difficult to be implemented in cities and residential areas.
Therefore, the difference between distributed PV and centralized PV is mainly in their scale, installation location, and cost. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, and should be selected according to local conditions and specific situations.
