What is an NC RfG certificate?
The NC RfG certificate is required for energy producers in Poland to ensure compliance with national regulations and standards of the power grid. It is a document that defines technical requirements for energy producers, which contributes to the stability and security of the power grid.
Thanks to this certificate, production systems can be safely and efficiently connected to Polish power grids. Having it is therefore not only a legal obligation, but also a guarantee of the quality and reliability of power installations.
What are the requirements for obtaining an NC RfG certificate?
From April 30, 2022, in Poland, every new generating installation must be built with certified equipment to meet the requirements of the NC RfG. This means that all new energy projects must comply with certain technical standards.
These requirements include voltage, current, frequency and power standards for connected generating units. For photovoltaic installations, it is also necessary to meet safety and environmental protection standards.
The process of obtaining the NC RfG certificate
Obtaining an NC RfG certificate is a key step for investors in energy installations, ensuring compliance with the requirements of energy network operators. This process can speed up the acceptance of a photovoltaic installation and facilitate its integration with Polish electricity networks.
Documentation is essential for successfully applying for an NC RfG certificate. It is important to submit an application that is complete and contains all required elements.
Victron Energy MultiPlus-II has been included in the PTPiREE list
Design and technical documentation are key elements of the process of obtaining the NC RfG certificate. The micro-installation report requires the attachment of a technical specification, electrical installation diagram and data on the parameters of the equipment installation.
An example is Victron Energy MultiPlus-II, which has been entered into the PTPiREE list, which makes it much easier to obtain a certificate and allows for the introduction of electricity to the grid. In the application to PGE distributon, in addition to the application form, a technical specification and an electrical installation diagram should be attached.

We are still waiting for the NC RfG certificate for Quattro devices, which shows how dynamically the market for certification of power devices is developing.
Benefits of having an NC RfG certificate
Possession of the NC RfG certificate ensures compliance with new regulations, which is important for users of photovoltaic installations. Transmission system operators in Poland are implementing regulations regarding the use of certificates in the process of connecting generating systems to the grid with energy storage.
The certificate enables easier connection of the installation to the power grid, which is a great convenience for investors. Additionally, having the certificate opens the door to the energy market and privileges related to energy production.
Certified devices in RES installations also ensure high energy quality and stability of local electricity networks, which is crucial for the development of renewable energy sources.
The NC RfG certificate is required for inverters used in photovoltaic installations from August 2021. The list of certified devices that meet the requirements for grid connection is regularly published by PTPiREE.
Decentralized power generation systems, such as photovoltaics and energy storage, can significantly stabilize power quality parameters, such as frequency and voltage in the power grid. By using certified inverters and power quality stabilization technologies, photovoltaic projects can increase their efficiency and contribute to the development of electricity distribution, tauron distribution and renewable energy sources.
PLCnext technology enables programming and regulation of active and reactive power for photovoltaic systems, which further increases their efficiency in the network.
