The solar energy grid connection code specifies the special requirements for connecting solar energy plants to the MV distribution networks or HV/EHV trans- mission network.
Integration issues need to be addressed from the distributed PV system side and from the utility side. Advanced inverter, controller, and interconnection technology development must produce hardware that allows PV to operate safely with the utility and act as a grid resource that provides benefits to both the grid and the owner.

Depending on its capacity, a solar plant can be connected to LV, MV, or HV networks. Successful connection of a medium-scale solar plant should satisfy requirements of both the Solar Energy Grid Connection Code (SEGCC) and the appropriate code: the Electricity Distribution Code (EDC) or the Grid Code (GC) as the connection level
The grid protection settings in the solar plants must comply with the requirements stipulated in the SEGCC, unless otherwise agreed with the transmission system operator. At the PCC, the grid protections shall be in compliance with the protection code of the Grid Code .
The solar plant grid connection codes are i. The Electricity Distribution the rules users of the electricity distribution networks. ii. The Egyptian Transmission System Code, Grid transmission system operator and the users of the transmission grid. The conversion systems to the transmission grid. The above five codes are shown in
The solar plants connected to the power grid shall endeavor to maintain the quality of the voltage waveform at the PCC. The solar power plants shall comply with the requirements specified in Section 5.3 of the Performance Code of the Grid Code and/or the related part in the Electricity Distribution Code.
The SEGCC specifies the special requirements for connecting both Medium-Scale Solar Plants (MSSPs) and Large-Scale Solar Plants (LSSPs) to the distribution networks or to the transmission network according to the capacity of the solar power plant. The capacity of MSSPs’ range is from 500 kW to less than 20 MW.
The second is the Solar Energy Grid Connection Code (SEGCC) which stipulates the technical requirements for connecting medium-scale (with capacity 500 kW to less than 20 MW) and large-scale (with capacity greater than or equal to 20 MW) solar power plants to the medium-voltage distribution networks or to the transmission grid.
Using capacitors and/or reactors to meet the requirements of the P-Q chart at the PCC is acceptable. The SEGCC stipulates that, in case of a grid fault, the grid-connected solar power plant has to remain connected to the grid when the positive-sequence voltage at the PCC is above the curve shown in Figure 18.
