Get the most out of your commercial solar power system with curtailment!
Do you want to get the most out of your commercial solar power system? Our team has years of experience implementing curtailment, enabling your commercial property with high energy consumption to fully benefit from solar power. Shall we get acquainted?
What is curtailment management?
When the sun is shining at full strength, solar power systems generate a lot of energy. Sometimes, we deliberately scale back production during those peak moments — a process known as flexible curtailment. But why would you intentionally reduce solar output? In this article, we explain the purpose of curtailment and why it can be a smart move.
Curtailment literally means limiting energy production. In this case, the solar panels stop generating power via the inverters. This means the panels only supply electricity when the building requires it, with the goal of avoiding feed-in to the public grid.
How does curtailment management work?
Meters are installed at the point where your commercial property is connected to the grid. These meters continuously monitor the building’s electricity consumption. When the meters detect that a peak is being reached — meaning more energy is being generated than consumed — the inverters automatically reduce their output. As a result, the solar power production is brought back in line with the building’s actual energy usage.
Is curtailment management a smart move for your solar installation?
Curtailment is especially relevant for commercial properties with relatively high energy consumption in areas where the grid is overloaded. For buildings with low energy use and limited or no grid feed-in capacity due to grid congestion, a rooftop full of solar panels may only be able to operate at full capacity for a limited time.
This significantly reduces the overall performance and return on investment of your solar power system.
