Abstract: A method and apparatus for electrically connecting and disconnecting a photovoltaic (PV) module from a distribution system includes determining whether one or more conditions are met to connect the PV module to the distribution system. The PV module is connected to the distribution system based upon the determination of whether the one or more conditions are met, and the one or more conditions are monitored. The PV module is disconnected from the distribution system if one or more of the conditions are not met.
