Lower costs and more space on the grid
The Netherlands are the world champion in solar power. However, this sometimes means more electricity is generated than the grid can handle.
At those times, Zonnedimmer reduces your solar panel output and you receive a fair compensation for doing so. This keeps the electricity grid stable and increases the return on your installation.

How it works

Dimming solar panels

Zonnedimmer monitors and controls solar panel installations in homes and small businesses. We do this via the cloud environments of manufacturers (OEMs), where these installations are already connected.

Our online control follows the guidelines and operates under the warranty of the manufacturer. You don't need to make any modifications to your installation, and there's no risk to your solar panels' warranty or lifespan.

You decide yourself whether and by whom your solar panels are dimmed, and you receive compensation for it.

This way, you generate extra income from your solar panels, and grid operators and energy suppliers can use solar panel installations' flexibility in a controlled way to create more space on the grid.
