Preparing for installation Requirements specified by the power supply utility When operating the photovoltaic unit as a grid feed system, observe all current requirements and regulations of your local power supply utility. The photovoltaic system must be suita- ble for operation with the power grid of your local power supply utility, and any interference affecting the grid or third parties must be reliably prevented.
