Overview
Snapshot
SunSpec is a national data communication standard, specified in IEEE 1547, for Distributed Energy Resources.
Year Founded
2009
Organization Overview
The SunSpec Alliance is a trade alliance of more than 100 solar and storage distributed energy industry participants, together pursuing information standards to enable “plug & play” system interoperability. SunSpec standards address operational aspects of solar PV power and energy storage plants on the smart grid—including residential, commercial, and utility-scale systems—thus reducing cost, promoting technology innovation, and accelerating industry growth.

The SunSpec Alliance was formed to accelerate the growth of the Distributed Energy industry and expand the market for renewable power by specifying de facto standards - information models, data formats, communication protocols, system interfaces, and other artifacts - that enable Distributed Energy power plants to interoperate transparently with system components, software applications, financial systems, and the Smart Grid.
