Policy Update • June 2026

Unlocking Fresh Opportunities for Residential & C&I PV Installations

On June 18, 2026, the new Guidelines for Assessing the Grid-Connection Capacity of Distributed Power Sources officially came into force, marking a milestone in policy liberalization for China's domestic distributed PV industry.

This new policy fundamentally breaks through long-standing industry bottlenecks by eliminating the rigid "80% of transformer capacity" installation cap and fully implementing a refined, zone-based management system (classified into green, yellow, and red zones). These measures significantly relax grid-connection requirements for residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) PV systems, thereby unlocking a market potential exceeding 50 GW for distributed PV.

The new policy not only revitalizes the domestic PV installation market but also aligns with global grid-connection standards, creating fresh opportunities for PV equipment exports and the implementation of overseas PV-plus-storage projects. Leveraging a comprehensive suite of internationally recognized certifications and mature PV-plus-storage system solutions, Future Green is uniquely positioned to precisely navigate the transition between old and new policies while meeting the diverse grid-connection standards of various overseas markets. We empower both domestic and international residential and C&I PV projects to achieve efficient implementation and compliant grid integration.

I. Core Benefits: Bidding Farewell to "One-Size-Fits-All"

Installation Thresholds Significantly Relaxed

🔓 1. Eliminating the Rigid 80% Transformer Capacity Cap: Revitalizing Idle Rooftop Resources

Historically, PV grid-connection regulations strictly enforced a "one-size-fits-all" rule—capping the PV installation capacity at 80% of the transformer's load capacity. Consequently, numerous industrial facilities, rural communities, and business parks were unable to install new PV systems—despite possessing ample idle rooftop space—because their transformer capacity had already reached saturation. This resulted in a severe waste of valuable resources.

The new policy, effective June 2026, officially abolishes this rigid restriction. Instead of limiting installation scale to a fixed numerical value, grid-connection eligibility is now dynamically assessed based on the actual grid-absorption capacity of the specific distribution area. As long as the grid's overall carrying capacity meets the required standards, PV systems can still be successfully connected even if the transformer's load rate exceeds 80%. This decisively resolves the industry's long-standing pain points—the inability to install systems due to capacity constraints or regulatory prohibitions—and maximizes the value of rooftop PV installations across C&I facilities, rural self-built homes, and business park buildings.

2. Refined Management via Three-Color Zoning

Solar-plus-Storage Becomes a Core Standard for Project Implementation. The new policy introduces a three-color (Green, Yellow, and Red) zoning and hierarchical control mechanism.

Green Zone

Load Ratio < 60%
Zero-Threshold, Rapid Grid Connection

The grid possesses ample capacity; thus, a "report-and-connect" policy is implemented. There is no mandatory requirement for accompanying energy storage systems, allowing small-scale residential and standard commercial PV systems to connect directly to the grid. This enables low-cost, rapid project implementation and is suitable for the vast majority of home courtyard and small retail PV projects.

Yellow Zone

60% ≤ Load Ratio < 85%
Storage-Augmented Expansion

The grid load is moderate. By integrating an energy storage system or intelligent safety and control devices, the allowable installed capacity quota can be relaxed to 90%. This significantly boosts rooftop utilization efficiency and serves as a core solution for PV system upgrades in small-to-medium-sized factories and office parks.

Red Zone

Load Ratio ≥ 85%
Upgrades and Retrofits

The grid load is relatively high; however, direct bans on new installations are avoided. Instead, projects can proceed with orderly grid connection and implementation once basic grid infrastructure upgrades are completed and a large-capacity energy storage system is installed. This effectively revitalizes and unlocks the potential of existing rooftop resources within high-load grid distribution zones.

Consequently, integrated solar-plus-storage solutions have evolved from an optional add-on into a mandatory requirement for grid connection. Equipping projects with compliant energy storage systems is now the key to capitalizing on the benefits of this new PV policy and achieving expanded PV installation capacity.

II. New Policy Empowers Domestic and International Markets: The Golden Era for PV Installations Has Arrived

The refined grid connection logic introduced by this new domestic policy aligns closely with the grid connection regulations found in major overseas markets—including Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. This convergence effectively breaks down the regulatory barriers that have historically separated domestic and international standards for PV grid connection. Whether involving domestic commercial and industrial (C&I) capacity expansion, new residential installations, or overseas PV projects and bulk export procurement, the sector is now embracing a wealth of new opportunities:

🏠 Residential Settings

Cost-effective small-scale off-grid or grid-tied PV systems can be readily deployed—offering zero electricity bills and minimal maintenance—to seamlessly meet daily household power needs.

🏭 C&I Settings

Capacity expansion via integrated PV-plus-storage solutions allows businesses to maximize the utilization of rooftop space, significantly reduce electricity costs, and simultaneously satisfy grid compliance mandates; these solutions are ideally suited for large-scale projects such as factories, industrial parks, and logistics hubs.

III. Future Green: Robust Capabilities Meeting Global Grid Compliance Standards

Following the implementation of new regulatory policies, the requirements for PV project equipment compliance, system stability, and energy storage compatibility have risen significantly; non-compliant equipment will no longer pass grid connection acceptance inspections.

With over 20 years of deep expertise in the PV and energy storage industry, Future Green offers a comprehensive product portfolio backed by authoritative certifications across numerous countries worldwide.

IV. Summary: Seizing the Installation Boom and Prioritizing Compliant PV-Storage Solutions

The relaxation of photovoltaic policies in June 2026 has thoroughly revitalized the distributed PV market. The removal of transformer capacity restrictions—coupled with the refined "three-color zone" management system—has enabled idle rooftops to truly realize their economic value. Whether for domestic residential self-consumption, industrial and commercial energy conservation and cost reduction, or overseas project integration and bulk procurement, compliant, stable, and highly adaptable PV-storage systems have emerged as an essential core requirement.
