Your solar panels

are earning less
than theyย should.

Standard contracts pay you a fixed rate for the energy you inject. But the grid doesn't work that way โ€” prices shift every 15 minutes. With 10s, you earn the real-time market price for every kWh you send back. The difference adds up.

Three ways your current contract is leaving money on the table

Standard energy contracts were designed around the grid of twenty years ago. ...The market has moved on.ย 

1. Fixed buyback locks in a low rate

Most suppliers pay a flat rate for your injection โ€” often โ‚ฌ0.04โ€“0.07/kWh. Meanwhile, the real-time market price spikes to โ‚ฌ0.20, โ‚ฌ0.40, sometimes higher. You'll never see that money.

2. Day-ahead pricing misses the peaks

Even a dynamic contract only updates hourly, using the previous day's prices. Intra-day spikes โ€” driven by sudden drops in wind or solar across Europe โ€” happen in 15-minute windows. You're too slow to catch them.

3. Prosument tariff eats your gains

In Flanders, the prosument tariff can cost โ‚ฌ350โ€“600/year just for having solar panels. That's a network fee you pay regardless โ€” but smart consumption can offset it significantly.

With 10s energy real-time means real-time.

Other suppliers promise dynamic pricing. What they deliver is a list of hourly prices, published the day before. With 10s, your injection is valued at the Elia quarter-hour spot price; the actual market rate at the actual moment your panels produce.

Testimonials

I've had solar for four years. I had no idea I was leaving this much money on the table. The first quarter on 10s more than covered the prosument tariff.

Bart V. Ghent
8 kWp, Flanders

My EV now charges almost entirely during my solar peak or during negative-price windows. The combination is ridiculous. I genuinely feel like I'm gaming the system.

Nathalie D.
Leuven, 6 kWp + EV

Set it up on a Saturday morning. Didn't touch it again. I check the dashboard sometimes just because it's satisfying to watch.

Production estimated at 950 kWh/kWp/year (Belgian average). 10s injection income calculated using 2024 Elia CWE quarter-hour prices, assuming full real-time billing at actual spot rates. Standard buyback benchmark: Belgian market average fixed injection rate 2024 (โ‚ฌ0.055/kWh). Actual results depend on your inverter, grid connection, DSO zone, and market conditions at time of use. Past pricing is not a guarantee of future earnings.

A smart supplier that really means it

Everything you need to know about solar injection with 10s

01. Do I need special hardware to connect my solar system?

No additional hardware is required. 10s works through Home Assistant, which connects to your existing inverter, EV charger, heat pump and other devices you already have. If your setup is already on Home Assistant, you're essentially ready to go.

02. How does 10s calculate my injection income?

Every kWh you inject into the grid is billed at the Elia real-time imbalance price for that specific 15-minute window. At the end of each quarter, you receive a detailed breakdown showing exactly which windows your energy was sold into and at what price. No averaging, no surprises.

03. What happens when prices go negative? Do I pay to inject?

Negative prices cut both ways. When prices go negative, consuming electricity earns you money โ€” so your Home Assistant automatically switches on your big appliances during these windows. For injection during negative prices, 10s manages this intelligently so you're never caught out. We'll confirm the exact handling in your contract terms.

04. Does 10s help with the Flanders prosurment tariff?

Yes, indirectly. The prosument tariff is a fixed network cost you pay for having solar panels in Flanders โ€” 10s can't eliminate it. But by maximising your self-consumption (running appliances during your own solar production) and boosting your injection income, 10s helps offset that cost significantly. Many customers find the net effect is positive.

05. Can I switch between the smart tariff and a standard tariff?

Yes. You stay in full control. You can switch appliances between smart (real-time) and standard (dynamic) tariff modes at any time, with a 48-hour notice period. For example, if you need your EV charged by a specific time regardless of price, you can temporarily switch it to a guaranteed charge mode.

06. Does 10s have access to my Home Assistant installation?

No. Your Home Assistant remains entirely under your control. 10s only sends you real-time price signals โ€” your Home Assistant uses those signals to make decisions according to the rules you set. We never control your devices directly.

Neither the standard dynamic nor the 10s Smart costs include the supplier's commercial margin. The fixed market reference already embeds a typical margin โ€” the dynamic figures do not.

Belgian dynamic tariff providers typically charge โ‚ฌ0.015โ€“0.025/kWh above spot plus an annual fee of approximately โ‚ฌ50โ€“80/yr (Luminus: โ‚ฌ0.021/kWh + โ‚ฌ75/yr; Engie: spot ร— coefficient + fixed constant).
