Solar curtailment definition: Solar curtailment is the intentional reduction or restriction of solar power generation from photovoltaic (PV) or solar thermal systems due to factors such as oversupply, grid congestion, or lack of demand. When solar power generation exceeds the grid’s capacity, it is unable to absorb or distribute it effectively.
A relatively high level of curtailment can be expected for power systems with very high shares of variable renewables (solar PV and wind energy). In fact, having substantial oversupply of solar PV during certain days of the year or hours of the day may still make sense from a system perspective for several reasons:
Curtailment in effect undermines a jurisdiction’s ability to harness what is increasingly the lowest cost source of power generation on the system. A relatively high level of curtailment can be expected for power systems with very high shares of variable renewables (solar PV and wind energy).
Seen from this perspective, curtailment is in many ways a balancing act, the trade-offs of which each power system needs to weigh. For project owners and investors in solar PV projects, uncertainty over curtailment rules can significantly increase project risks.
Our photovoltaic systems and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and efficient deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
