Growatt ShineServer: automatic curtailment on IBEX prices

With Growatt, owners follow their plant in the ShineServer web platform and the ShinePhone app, while installers work in a separate platform called OSS. TokPirate connects to your plant and decides for every 15-minute interval whether the inverters should run at full power or be curtailed – based on the IBEX price and your minimum.

What TokPirate does with your Growatt plant

  • 01

    Curtails below your minimum price

    For every 15-minute IBEX interval we compare the price with your threshold. When it’s lower, we limit your Growatt inverters through ShineServer – smoothly, without a hard shutdown.

  • 02

    Restarts automatically

    As soon as the price is back above your threshold, production resumes. No need to log in to ShineServer and do it by hand.

  • 03

    Schedules for your trader

    Planned curtailments go into the day-ahead schedule we send to your trader automatically. Less imbalance, no manual e-mails.

  • 04

    Profit after fees

    Every 5 minutes you see the plant’s real revenue – after balancing, grid access and admin fees.

  • 05

    Real-time alerts

    Push and e-mail alerts on lost connection, inverter faults or voltage deviations.

  • A sample day

    Sample data
    Price below your threshold from 11:15 to 14:30 → the plant is curtailed for 13 fifteen-minute intervals, then runs again.

What you need to connect Growatt

ShineServer and ShinePhone are the web and mobile versions for owners, so access is usually granted from there. The account you use needs rights to change inverter settings. If an installer looks after the plant through OSS, we’ll work out with them where access is best granted from.

  • Your Growatt inverters registered in ShineServer and sending data
  • Access to the plant in ShineServer with control rights – view-only isn’t enough
  • A working internet connection at the plant
  • The minimum price below which you don’t want to sell
  • Your trader’s contact details, if you want schedules sent straight to them

Not needed: new hardware, a site visit or replacing your inverters.

Questions about Growatt ShineServer

More questions? See the full FAQ or write to us.

My installer works in OSS. Do they need to be involved?
Only if the plant is under their control. OSS is Growatt’s platform for installers and distributors; ShineServer and ShinePhone are for owners. If you have your own account with control rights, you can grant us access yourself.
I have plants with Growatt and another brand. Can I manage them together?
Yes, as long as the other brand is supported too. Each plant connects through its own manufacturer’s cloud, and TokPirate shows them all on one screen – each with its own threshold, status and profit after fees.
Is curtailment safe for my Growatt inverters?
Yes. We use the manufacturer’s standard power-limiting function – the same one you could set by hand in ShineServer. Output is reduced smoothly rather than switching the inverters off abruptly.
How much does TokPirate cost for a plant with Growatt inverters?
Pricing depends on the number of inverters, not the brand: Start (up to 5 inverters) at €19/month, Pro (up to 25 inverters) at €69/month and Business (up to 100 inverters) at €199/month – or €15, €52 and €149 a month billed annually. Custom (over 100 inverters) is priced on request. Prices exclude VAT, and the first 14 days are free, no card required. See pricing.
