How it works
See it, dim it, earn from it.
Three steps, and then it runs by itself.
01
Insight
Connect your inverter and see straight away what you generate, what you use yourself and what goes to the grid. Live, to the minute.
02
Dimming
Grid full, or the power price gone negative? Then Zonnedimmer turns your panels down for a while. You see exactly when it happens — and you can always skip it.
03
Earning
You get paid for every dimmed kWh. It runs automatically; there is nothing for you to do.
The app
Everything in one clear app.
See your production, your use and every dimming moment.
Why now?
On 1 January 2027 net metering ends.
From then on, every kWh you feed in at the wrong moment counts.
± 350 hours
of negative power prices per year
Feeding in pays less and less.
On a fixed price you only get a low payment for feeding in. On a dynamic contract it still earns 7 to 10 cents per kWh over the year, but the price is negative for around 350 hours a year. Zonnedimmer stops you feeding in at those moments, while your panels keep generating what you use at home.

The grid is filling up.
Grid operators are looking for flexible capacity to absorb peaks on the grid. Through Zonnedimmer your solar panels, and soon other appliances at home, help keep the grid stable. Where it is needed, your grid operator pays you for it.
