Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: What is solar curtailment, and why is it important?
Solar curtailment reduces or stops excess solar energy from being exported to the grid during negative price periods, helping to avoid penalties or low returns for exported energy.
Question 2: How does Jousto automate solar curtailment?
Jousto detects when energy prices go negative (e.g., with Amber Electric or Local Volts) and automatically adjusts your inverter’s export settings to prevent sending excess power to the grid.
Question 3: Can Jousto limit my grid exports without affecting my home’s energy use?
Yes! Jousto applies dynamic export limiting, ensuring your home uses as much solar as possible while preventing unwanted grid exports.
Question 4: Will Jousto work with my existing inverter and battery system?
Jousto is designed to integrate with most modern inverters and battery storage systems. If you’re unsure, we can help assess your system compatibility.
Question 5: How does Jousto change inverter grid modes automatically?
Jousto uses Home Assistant automations to switch your inverter between grid-tied and battery-charging modes based on pricing signals, ensuring you always use energy at the most cost-effective times.
Question 6: What is energy arbitrage, and how does Jousto help?
Energy arbitrage means charging your battery when grid prices are low (or negative) and selling stored power when prices are high. Jousto automates this process for maximum savings.
Question 7: Can I still export energy to the grid when prices are high?
Absolutely! Jousto automatically detects peak pricing events and allows your system to export at those times, maximising your returns from the grid.
Question 8: How does Jousto help businesses optimise energy usage?
Jousto provides detailed energy tracking, automation, and reporting, helping businesses reduce demand charges, optimise solar usage, and cut overall energy costs.
Question 9: Is Jousto only for homes with solar, or can it work without solar too?
Jousto works for both solar and non-solar users. If you're on a wholesale energy provider, Jousto can automate appliances to run when energy prices are lowest.
