From Roof Space to Revenue Stream

Today, the return on a rooftop solar system depends more on commercial management than on the technology itself. Output curtailment, negative price windows, and increasing operator obligations have a direct impact on revenue. opti.node automates energy-related calculations, tracks contracts and deadlines, and provides a clear overview of the profitability of each property—whether it’s the first project or a growing portfolio.

Revenue

Understanding the True Cost of PV Curtailment

Grid operators are increasingly curtailing rooftop systems as well, in some cases completely at the inverter level. If on-site consumption drops to zero, more expensive grid power becomes necessary, and the projected return on investment comes under pressure. Compensation claims can only be substantiated with reliable data. In opti.node, generation, sales, and curtailment data are consolidated into a single database. This makes lost output traceable, quantifies the economic damage, and highlights every revenue stream that contributes to the project.

Project Planning

Getting Projects to the Grid Faster

The decision on which supply model is economically viable is made early on. The metering concept, tenant structure, system size, and grid connection situation determine whether tenant electricity, community building supply, or an on-site PPA is the appropriate arrangement. Subsidies also depend on these factors: Systems commissioned on or after May 16, 2024, can claim the tenant electricity subsidy even for commercial properties, over a 20-year subsidy period. opti.node guides you through these decisions, helps verify the requirements, and prevents mistakes that could prove costly during later operation.

Does your project pay off?

Tenant electricity is often calculated too simply. Real returns come from the interplay of multiple revenue sources, from power supply to charging infrastructure. We evaluate exactly these based on your property and consumption data, free of charge and worth 500 euros.
