Therefore, a set of testing guidelines is required to assure that solar plants comply with the grid and inverter requirements. As such, this article presents comprehensive testing guidelines for the interconnection of solar systems into Malaysian power grid, including inverter and PQ tests. The test points, conditions, parameters and acceptable limits for both tests are discussed in detail. This article also presents the results of a case study in which the testing guidelines were applied to examine the PQ of an actual grid-connected solar photovoltaic plant in Malaysia and to assess the performance of the smart inverter used in the tested solar system. The testing outcomes, which were recorded by a PQ analyser, showed that the tested solar system was in compliance with all the requirements stipulated in the testing guidelines. The findings presented in this article will help relevant parties to understand these solar testing guidelines and serve to promote the wide deployment of solar technology towards a clean and sustainable future. � 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Final 2023-05-29T08:09:54Z 2023-05-29T08:09:54Z 2020 Article 10.1002/2050-7038.12371 2-s2.0-85081036374 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85081036374&doi=10.1002%2f2050-7038.12371&partnerID=40&md5=a9f01f807bb0c651c49e5326e271ad68 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/25476 30 6 e12371 John Wiley and Sons Ltd Scopus
