What is on the Revenue tab of an asset?

The Revenue tab shows what one site's export was worth at the day-ahead price. It also shows how much value curtailment, faults and downtime cost.

Why it matters

Here you see in euros what the site earned and what was left on the table. You learn which cause costs the most money, and where a quick repair or a claim pays off most.

What you see

Breakdown

At the top you choose Per quarter-hour, Per day or Per month. Per day is the default.

Choice Period
Per quarter-hour The last 7 days
Per day The last 31 days
Per month The last 12 months, this month included

Item What it shows
Revenue The value of the export in the period. Below it: the export in MWh
Capture price What the site earned per MWh on average. Below it: where the export was measured, such as Meter · 100.0 % or Inverters
Day-ahead avg. The mean day-ahead price in the period. Below it: the price source, such as ENTSO-E, Energy-Charts or Simulator
Missed The value of the energy lost to curtailment, faults or downtime
Avoided cost The value of energy not delivered while the price was negative

Revenue and missed

A chart with, per quarter-hour, day or month, a Revenue bar and a stacked Missed bar split into Curtailment, Fault and Availability. The line is Day-ahead avg. in €/MWh. Without rows there is no chart.

Missed

A table with per cause the Loss in MWh and the Value:

Cause What counts
Curtailment Energy a limit held back
Fault A fault and derating of the inverters
Availability Other downtime, such as planned maintenance or a grid that is not available

Per quarter-hour, Per day or Per month

A table with one row per quarter-hour, day or month, newest at the top. The title follows the chosen breakdown.

Column What it shows
Period The quarter-hour, day or month
Export The export in MWh
Revenue The value of the export
Capture price Revenue per MWh in that row
Day-ahead avg. The mean day-ahead price in that row
Curtailment, Fault, Availability The missed value per cause
Avoided cost The avoided cost in that row
  • A dash for the capture price means: no export with a price.
  • Both tables have an export button for CSV or Excel.
  • "No data" means there are no rows in the period.

Solar park or battery

The tab computes both the same way. Only the export counts; what the site takes from the grid does not.
