The Curtailer works in 29 countries. Each country's site shows that country's own day-ahead prices and weather.

How much could curtailment be worth on your site?

The Curtailer pauses solar export the moment the day-ahead price drops below a threshold you choose - so you stop paying to feed the grid. Pick a price limit to see how often that would have triggered on recent prices, and describe your plant for an estimated euro figure. No account needed.

A Curtailer pauses export when the price drops below this limit - it isn't worth feeding power to the grid below it. Defaults to €0.015 (1.5 cents), the price ANWB Energie pays for feed-in* - excluding VAT.

* Example value: the feed-in price a Dutch supplier (ANWB Energie) pays, excluding VAT - your own contract's feed-in tariff may differ.

Monthly totals

kWh view: exported generation stacked with curtailed generation (the sum is gross production). EUR view: net revenue without vs. with curtailing, side by side.

Estimated net profit with The Curtailer

€8.37k / year

At €795, The Curtailer pays for itself in 2 months.

Curtailment is included free with every Curtailer. Pro and Pro Plus add monitoring and reporting and are priced separately.

~736 full load hours are produced after curtailment.

Most subsidy schemes pay out up to 900–1,000 kWh/kWp. You're 164 hours below a 900-hour cap - you have room to curtail harder, or to lower your price limit and keep more subsidised production.

Rolling year simulates the last 365 days (excluding today, often incomplete). Picking a specific year simulates that full calendar year instead.

Basic mode assumes one dominant orientation at a typical roof tilt. Switch to advanced mode to describe individual strings with their own azimuth and tilt.

Assumptions

Weather station used
De Bilt
Estimated system size
900.00 kWp
Simulation window
rolling year, 365 days with data

All simulations use weather data from De Bilt - the public simulation tool doesn't yet support other locations, so results may differ from your actual site.

Based on real KNMI 10-minute weather (irradiance and temperature) for the station above, and a pvlib/PVWatts solar-position model - not a precision instrument: it uses a simplified (isotropic) sky-diffuse model, a flat system-loss allowance, and no per-module datasheet. Savings and net revenue are both netted against your price limit - as if it were the reference rate you're paid per kWh - so a negative price contributes more than a price just below the limit.

Actual solar generation, curtailment behavior, and revenue depend on your specific installation, module and inverter characteristics, shading, local grid conditions, your energy contract's terms, and future market prices - all of which may differ significantly from the assumptions used here. No rights, guarantees, or contractual commitments can be derived from any figure shown by this tool.

Interesting days:

On this single day you would have profited €0.00 by curtailing 0.0 kWh of the gross 0.0 kWh production.

Amber shading marks curtailed production - intervals where the price was below your limit.
