Solar Panel Immersion Heater Controller

The controller can heat the top of the cylinder first and once hot switch to the bottom immersion.

Solar panel immersion heater controller.

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. This is very useful for hot water cylinders with a upper and lower immersion element. This proportional control technology makes the solarimmersion a highly efficient solar energy manager. Solarimmersion intelligent solar pv energy storage or solar immersion controller switch diverts surplus solar pv power to heat water for free.

The new mark iii version of intelligent solar pv heating switch heating controller with proportional controller is available now. Some solar immersion controllers can control multiple loads. Simple efficient affordable. 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.

Solar iboost s built in display means that you can watch your savings grow simply press the display button to see saved today saved yesterday saved 7 days saved 28 days and. Immersion heater controllers any surplus is automatically diverted into the immersion heater. 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. 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.

Use a 3 core cable with a minimum wire cross section of 2 5 mm2. Simple to use and maintenance free the solic 200 is self contained and will save you hundreds. Connect the device through a 2 pole magneto thermal switch breaker in the ac distribution panel. Mark iii diverts all the surplus power from the solar pv to the immersion heater no need to change the immersion heater as it works with the existing one and comes at a very affordable price.

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