Sungrow iSolarCloud: automatic curtailment on IBEX prices

Sungrow inverters are monitored in iSolarCloud, through the web portal or the app of the same name. TokPirate uses your plant’s iSolarCloud access to act on every 15-minute IBEX interval: output is curtailed when the price is below the minimum you set, and the inverters return to full power as soon as it recovers.

What TokPirate does with your Sungrow 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 Sungrow inverters through iSolarCloud – 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 iSolarCloud 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 Sungrow

iSolarCloud serves owners, installers and O&M teams, each with their own type of account. We need access to the specific plant with rights to change inverter parameters remotely – a view-only account is not enough. We’ll tell you exactly what to select when you connect.

  • Your Sungrow inverters registered in iSolarCloud and sending data
  • Access to the plant in iSolarCloud 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.

How connecting iSolarCloud works

Three steps, no site visit.

  1. Start the free trial

    Sign up for 14 days free, no card required, and tell us your plant runs on Sungrow.

  2. Grant access in iSolarCloud

    Follow the short instructions for iSolarCloud. If the account belongs to your installer, we’ll help you sort it out with them.

  3. Check and go live

    We confirm the inverters are visible and accept commands, you set your minimum price, and the automation takes over.

Questions about Sungrow iSolarCloud

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

I have several plants under one iSolarCloud account. How do I connect them?
Tell us which plants in the account to include. In TokPirate each one gets its own minimum price and its own schedule for your trader, and you pay by the total number of inverters.
Does TokPirate change the settings my installer made in iSolarCloud?
The automation works with the active power limit – the standard function for this on Sungrow inverters. Protection and grid settings configured by your installer are not part of what we control.
Is curtailment safe for my Sungrow inverters?
Yes. We use the manufacturer’s standard power-limiting function – the same one you could set by hand in iSolarCloud. Output is reduced smoothly rather than switching the inverters off abruptly.
How much does TokPirate cost for a plant with Sungrow 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.
