A solar diverter is a clever little device that tells the solar electrons to go to the hot water instead of feeding back to the grid.
Solar panel load diverter.
So a hot water element connected to solar via a diverter cannot also be connected to a controlled load or economy tariff 3.
Fit is good although i dont want to export all of the power for obvious reasons.
About controlled load and economy tariffs.
Powerdiverter saves your money every day by storing your excess solar energy as hot water it even works on cloudy days making sure you always get the most out of your solar pv system.
On the whole these solar power diverters also known as solar pv optimisers divert the electricity to the immersion.
The trick is that they can only do one at a time.
They cannot be connected to any other power source except the controlled load economy tariff meter.
By diverting excess solar power to your hot water tank you are storing your energy in a very efficient way.
Turn your humble hot water tank into a solar battery.
Devices on controlled load or economy tariffs must be hardwired 2.
They monitor the electricity being consumed in the home and the electricity being produced by the solar panels as soon as there is a surplus being produced they divert this to the immersion unit without the power diverter in place this electricity would normally be.
I heard about solar pv load diverting devices like solarimmersion that can send the extra power to immersion tank to heat water.
Acting as a diversion load controller means that the controller is wired to the battery bank and to a diversion load or dump load such as a resistor or heating element.
