...........At the same time, solar PV is only a small, if growing, portion of this distributed generation landscape, as we’ve noted in recent coverage . Combined heat and power (CHP) systems that provide heat, cooling and electricity to university and government campuses and corporate facilities are a significant part of that total . And small-scale generators, whether they’re meant for emergency backup power, or for running most or all of the time to power island communities and neighborhoods and facilities in parts of the world where the grid can’t be relied upon, make up an even larger share.
