← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a residential grid-tied solar system exports excessive reactive power to the electrical grid?
A)Voltage amplification and potential equipment damage✓
B)Reduced system lifespan from DC injection
C)Frequency instability causing blackout risk
D)Increased line losses with improved power factor
💡 Explanation
When a residential solar system inappropriately exports reactive power, voltage amplification occurs because excessive VARs oppose grid inductive reactance causing localized overvoltage, threatening other equipment. Therefore voltage amplification is the result, rather than lifespan reduction, instability, or reduced losses which have different underlying mechanisms.
