@tetron Sorry, but I cannot decipher that statement. "Power protection device" is a rather generic term and I don't know what this refers to here. And 6% doesn't seem a lot to me, but then I don't know the other parameters of this grid.
FWIW, as I wrote in my thread, you can always _curtail_ solar power to protect your grid. You throw away free energy by doing so, but safety has its costs.

@sbi I think I'm conflating two numbers, the 6% is probably year-round total contribution from solar, but there is 12 MW solar installed out of ~30-40 MW of demand (this is just a guess based on ~9000 households and businesses) so solar contribution is presumably much higher on sunny summer days, which as I understand from your thread, these primary control issues start to become significant.
