Automating Solar Trading: What Can AI Really Do Today?

Automation in energy trading can range from simple rule-based orders to advanced algorithms that adjust positions every few minutes. In solar-dominated portfolios, AI can support both forecasting and execution.

Typical tasks include recommending volumes, suggesting hedge structures or triggering alerts when risk limits are crossed. In some setups, AI can place orders automatically – but always within a defined framework.

Good practice is to start with decision support, measure results and only then move towards more direct automation where it clearly adds value.
