Power quality has been widely researched. Several phenomena that affect power quality, and its consequences, have been investigated. When the power quality theme involves the operation of a grid-connected photovoltaic system, the main concern is about the operation of the inverter, which is responsible for the interface of the photovoltaic generator with the grid. The introduction of photovoltaic generation in the grid requires attention on certain factors such as changes in the load curve, voltage level, harmonic components in the inverter current and variation on the power factor (PF) of the costumer. This work aims to test and evaluate some aspects that may influence the power quality due to the insertion of photovoltaic generation in the grid, associated whit the load demand. Four grid-connected photovoltaic systems were used to develop this work, as well as a data acquisition bench that was set up to monitor the operation of these systems. In this work it is possible to conclude that the operation of photovoltaic systems causes changes in the voltage level at the point of common coupling. Also, the interaction between photovoltaic systems and loads causes changes in the load profile measured by the side of the grid, causing the total harmonic distortion in the current (THDi) and PF measured at this side to be different from those measured at the loads and photovoltaic sides. It is possible to observe that the grid-connected photovoltaic system can contribute to increase or reduce the THDi seen by the local grid, where the greatest contribution of harmonic distortion in the current delivered by the grid is associated to the demand profile of the load.
