Maximise Your Solar Savings with Smart Solar Curtailment.

Take full control of your solar power with Jousto’s intelligent solar curtailment.

Avoid feed-in penalties, optimise energy usage, and even profit from negative wholesale prices.

Whether you're withAmber Electric or Local Volts, Jousto ensures your solar works for you—not the grid.

What Is Solar Curtailment & How Can It Benefit You?

Solar curtailment is the process of limiting or redirecting excess solar energy to avoid low or negative feed-in tariffs.

Many Australian energy networks now impose solar export limits or "sun taxes," reducing your financial return on solar power.

With Jousto, you can take control of your solar exports, ensuring you don’t lose money when wholesale prices drop.

Our two-stage automation system adjusts your export settings and inverter modes, allowing you to profit from negative pricing and optimise energy use for maximum savings.

Intelligent Export Limiting – Jousto automatically matches solar exports to household demand, preventing unnecessary losses during negative pricing periods.

Full Inverter Mode Switching – When prices drop further, Jousto switches your home to grid power, so you get paid to use electricity instead of exporting solar at a loss.

Avoid Solar Penalties & Network Restrictions – Many energy networks limit or switch off solar systems, but Jousto ensures you stay in control and maximise returns.

Works with Amber Electric & Local Volts – Jousto optimises energy use for wholesale energy customers, unlocking the best possible rates for both buying and selling electricity.

Why Every Solar Owner Needs Smart Energy Automation.

Traditional solar systems aren’t built to maximise financial returns

in Australia’s changing energy market. Many homeowners are being

charged to export power while missing out on opportunities

to get paid for using electricity when wholesale prices go negative.

Jousto’s automation ensures you always profit from your energy

—whether by curtailing solar during negative pricing or selling at peak rates. Don’t let the grid decide your energy fate. Take back control and start making your solar work for you today.

Stop Losing Money on Solar Exports – Avoid being charged to export power.

Get Paid to Use Electricity – Profit from negative pricing events with smart automation.

Maximise Your Solar Investment – Automatically adjust settings for the best financial outcome.

No Manual Work Required – Jousto does everything for you, hassle-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What is solar curtailment, and why is it important?

Solar curtailment prevents excess solar energy from being exported to the grid when prices are low or negative, ensuring you don’t lose money.

Question 2: How does Jousto automate solar curtailment?

Jousto automatically limits exports based on market prices and, in extreme cases, switches your inverter mode to draw power from the grid when it’s profitable to do so.
