Automatic solar farm control based on energy prices
sunvibe automatically reduces solar production when the energy price drops below your chosen threshold and restores production when selling becomes worthwhile again.
Selling energy can mean paying for it
Prices can fall below zero when electricity supply exceeds demand. Selling production during those periods may create a cost instead of revenue, depending on your contract.
How control helps
Choose the price source, price threshold and production limit. The system creates a daily schedule and automatically reduces and restores production. You can reduce output to cover the farm’s own needs instead of stopping it completely.
Control and settings
If the farm has a battery, an EMS can plan charging during low-price periods and discharge when prices are higher. The control plan accounts for the battery’s limits and the installation’s configuration.
