Two related challenges have become barriers to increasing penetration levels for rooftop solar: the hosting capacity of the grid, and the need to maintain stability during periods of peak demand.

The Future PV panel at Intersolar 2019 discussed the policy settings for VPP implementation, along with future tariffs and remuneration models for the technology.
