Solar Panel Immersion Heater Controller

Solarimmersion intelligent solar pv energy storage or solar immersion controller switch diverts surplus solar pv power to heat water for free.

Solar panel immersion heater controller.

Simple to use and maintenance free the solic 200 is self contained and will save you hundreds. The new mark iii version of intelligent solar pv heating switch heating controller with proportional controller is available now. The solic200 solar immersion heater controller automatically converts energy generated by existing pv panels into hot water by diverting excess solar power to the immersion heater before it s exported to the national grid. Simple efficient affordable.

Make sure that power is disconnected from the main distribution panel. It does this by modulating the voltage sent to the immersion heater with a roughly rectangular pulsing waveform where the width of the rectangular pulses is variable. When the in house usage decreases even if only by a few watts solarimmersion will automatically increase the power to the immersion heater to use all the available surplus rather than the excess going back to the grid. Immersion heater controllers any surplus is automatically diverted into the immersion heater.

This proportional control technology makes the solarimmersion a highly efficient solar energy manager. Most immersion heaters use a 3kw element but here s the clever bit the immersion controller can adjust its output so only the would be export is put into the immersion heater. If your home has hot water storage with an immersion heater then solar iboost can be installed and start saving you more money on heating bills in less than 1 hour. Some solar immersion controllers can control multiple loads.

This is very useful for hot water cylinders with a upper and lower immersion element. Connect the device through a 2 pole magneto thermal switch breaker in the ac distribution panel. Use the connection gland suitable for the cable diameter 6 12 mm or 4 8mm. The controller can heat the top of the cylinder first and once hot switch to the bottom immersion.

The proportional controller diverter ensures that the immersion heater does not draw more power than the excess power available form the pv panels.
