Distributed energy resources (DERs) should be considered when planning a power grid, the US Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has urged. In a white paper, the SEIA praised the Tags leading solar states, California and New York, for detailing the cost benefits of DERs, and recommended other states follow suit. In addition to power, DERs also provide grid services such as peak load reduction, which can be very helpful to neTagsrks with a high solar contribution, it added.
