AB Rooftop photovoltaic emerges as an essential resource to promote the energy transition. It opens up the possibility to create energy communities andshare the generated electricity within a neighbourhood, aiding to confront theenergy crisis. However, low voltage distribution grids where originally designed radially, with a mainly one-directional power flow in mind. As such,a high penetration of distributed generation such as rooftop photovoltaic willnegatively impact the grid, increasing the voltage profile and causing reversepower-flows. Thus, it is key to determine the limits set by the applicable regulation and analyze the effects of rooftop photovoltaic on the grid performance.This work aims to determine the impact on the distribution grid of anintense deployment of rooftop photovoltaic in a real case scenario, the surroundings of the music school in Adeje, Tenerife (Spain). For this purpose,the current statutory limits, as well as the network topology, the rooftop areaand real consumption data of the vicinity are taken into account. A simulation is performed using the software OpenDSS, and the influence on the gridis estimated for different penetration scenarios. The results show that thetransformer capacity limitation allows the integration of 420kWp. Setting thislimitation aside, this value could be increased up to 579kWp without surpassing voltage limits, while the maximum photovoltaic potential in the vicinityaccording to available rooftop area is estimated at 1859,21kWp, but it wouldbreach the current grid codes. To allow higher penetration limits, solutionssuch as the Volt-Var and Volt-Watt techniques as well as distribution staticsynchronous compensators are required.
