SMA Sunny Portal: automatic curtailment on IBEX prices

SMA inverters are monitored in Sunny Portal, which SMA is gradually replacing with its new platform, Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS. TokPirate connects to your plant there and, in every 15-minute interval priced below your minimum, curtails the inverters before bringing them back online.

What TokPirate does with your SMA 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 SMA inverters through Sunny Portal – 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 Sunny Portal 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 SMA

In Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, user roles (Owner, Installer, Operator) only describe a user’s function; what they can do is set by user rights – Administrator, Installer or User. The User right cannot change parameters, so TokPirate needs Installer or Administrator rights; we’ll tell you which when you connect.

  • Your SMA inverters registered in Sunny Portal and sending data
  • Access to the plant in Sunny Portal 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 SMA Sunny Portal

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

My plant is still in the classic Sunny Portal. What now?
SMA is migrating existing systems to Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS gradually, country by country, and notifies owners by e-mail once it’s done. Some older systems are not migrated automatically. Tell us which portal version your plant is in and we’ll check what access is needed before switching on the automation.
How do I give you access in Sunny Portal?
In Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS you add a new user to the system and choose an access level. If that user isn’t registered in the portal yet, they receive an e-mail invitation. We’ll give you the address to invite when you connect.
Is curtailment safe for my SMA inverters?
Yes. We use the manufacturer’s standard power-limiting function – the same one you could set by hand in Sunny Portal. Output is reduced smoothly rather than switching the inverters off abruptly.
How much does TokPirate cost for a plant with SMA 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.
