Without eSenZ
At peak sun the plant tries to generate more than 2 MW. Staff must watch the power manually and reduce string inputs or adjust generation by hand, losing energy and time.
DEMAND CONTROL · POWER LIMITER · INDIA
Demand control
that holds your permitted limit.
If your plant is permitted to supply only up to a set limit, eSenZ Demand Control holds it there automatically. Set the limit once and it raises or lowers inverter output in real time, so power never crosses it.
- All states of India
- Abu Dhabi & Dubai, UAE
- Congo & more
HOW IT WORKS
Four steps, fully automatic.
- 01Set the limit
Enter your permitted level in eSenZ, for example 2 MW.
- 02Measure
eSenZ reads plant output at the metering point continuously.
- 03Adjust
It increases or decreases each inverter's power percentage dynamically to stay at the limit.
- 04Monitor
Live output against the limit, history and alerts on the eSenZ portal.
EXAMPLE
2 MW permitted. 4 MW of DC installed.
With eSenZ Demand Control
Set the limit to 2 MW once. eSenZ raises and lowers each inverter’s power percentage in real time, holding output right at 2 MW whenever the sun allows, with no manual work.
WHY ESENZ
Built for Indian sites. Trusted abroad.
Stay within your permission
Output is held at the permitted level, all day, automatically.
No manual string switching
No more watching the meter and switching off strings at peak.
More generation
Output rises again as soon as there is headroom, so you generate right up to the limit.
Ideal for DC overloading
Make full use of a large DC array without crossing your AC limit.
60+ inverter brands
Works with the inverters you already have over RS485 Modbus.
Remote setup
Wire the devices on site; our team sets the limit and configures it remotely.
WHO IT’S FOR
Made for sites like yours.
- Plants with more DC capacity than their permitted limit

FAQ
Demand Control questions.
What is solar demand control?
Demand control keeps a solar plant at or below a set power limit. The eSenZ controller measures output continuously and raises or lowers inverter power to hold the permitted level.
Why does my plant generate more than its permitted limit?
Many plants have more DC panel capacity than their permitted AC limit, for example 4 MW of DC with a 2 MW permission. At peak sun, output can go above the limit unless it is controlled.
How did sites manage this without eSenZ?
Staff had to watch the power manually and reduce string inputs or adjust generation by hand, which loses energy and needs constant attention.
How is demand control different from zero export?
Zero export keeps grid export at zero. Demand control holds output at a limit you choose, such as 2 MW, and lets the plant generate right up to it.
Do I lose generation with demand control?
Only the power above your limit is held back. When output falls below the limit, eSenZ raises the inverters again.
Where do you supply demand control?
eSenZ supplies and supports Demand Control in all states of India, and abroad in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Congo and other countries.
