Zero Export Monitoring: Track the No-Feed-In Rule Live
For rooftop solar that must not feed the grid, monitor connection-point power flow, curtailment loss and violations live.
Most self-consumption rooftop solar plants must not feed energy into the grid. The inverter and controller do the power limiting. But if you cannot see whether that system works, violations and wasted production go unnoticed.
Connection-point power flow
Power drawn from and fed to the grid, live.
Curtailment loss
How much production was lost to inverter limiting.
Violation alarm
Email, SMS and mobile notification the moment the rule is broken.
Inverter response
Whether inverters respond correctly to limit commands.
How it works
Get started in three steps
- 1
Pick the template
The Industrial Rooftop solution template is built for zero export.
- 2
Connect meter and inverters
Connection-point meter and inverter data reach the platform via the gateway.
- 3
Dashboard and alarms ready
Power flow, curtailment and violation screens are set up automatically.
Who is it for?
Who benefits most?
Self-consumption rooftop solar
Sites without permission to sell to the grid.
Factories
Plants balancing generation with their own consumption.
EPC and O&M companies
Teams who must document compliance at customer sites.
Energy managers
Anyone who wants to see production lost to curtailment.
FAQ
Common questions
Does SolarTools limit inverter power itself?
No. The inverter and controller do the limiting. SolarTools monitors that the system works and alerts on violations.
How is curtailment loss calculated?
The gap between what the inverter could produce and what it delivered under limiting is tracked and reported.
What data is needed?
The connection-point meter and inverter data are enough. Data is collected by the SolarTools Gateway.
