SolarImmersion Mark - Proportional/Modulation Based Solar PV Hot Water System
A highly efficient proportional/modulation based solar PV hot water system at an affordable price. It diverts 100% of your surplus power to heat water & works even on cloudy days.
SolarImmersion uses a clip-on sensor on the incoming service grid lines. The clip-on sensor can be attached anywhere before the consumer unit.From the clip-on sensor, the intelligent SolarImmersion unit gets accurate information required to compute whether the power is imported or exported. Once the unit detects that the power is exported, it calculates how much is being exported and diverts the power to the immersion heater, to keep the exported power as near to zero as possible.
If the in-house load increases e.g. when a kettle, washing machine or dishwasher is used, it will reduce the power diverted to the immersion, ensuring only the excess power is used. 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.
This proportional control technology makes the SolarImmersion a highly efficient solar energy manager. It diverts even small amounts of excess solar power to be saved as hot water and avoid the wastage as export power. This advanced switching technology enables the SolarImmersion to work efficiently with solar PV, wind or hydro micro-generation systems rated from 500W to 4kW and more. The unit also includes the boost function and manual override facility to give you full control over how the immersion is managed.
SolarImmersion will automatically detect and proportionally divert the surplus power from solar panels to an immersion heater to heat water.
SolarImmersion could automatically turns on the electric underfloor heating and make it work with self generated surplus power.
As SolarImmersion could work even on cloudy days, it could be used as a solar powered swimming pool heater by connecting the pool heater directly to the unit.
The relay option in SolarImmersion could be used to drive inductive load and proportional controller could be used to drive the heater in situations where a fan heater is required.
Inbuilt override/boost facility to turn on the immersion manually if required.
SolarImmersion works with all sorts of grid-tied micro generation systems.
The unit comes with a standard 1 year Warranty repair or replacement.
The most active areas of SolarImmersion have no moving parts or batteries to change, making it virtually maintenance-free.
When SolarImmersion is used to heat water from the surplus solar PV power it pays for itself in about 3 years.
Use the free surplus power from solar PV for hot water even in winter.
Gas boiler works far less than normal, helping you to save on energy bills.
Add one more way of recouping your investment on Solar PV – SolarImmersion improves ROI by more than 25%.
SolarImmersion is simple to install and easy to configure.
No need to change the immersion heater or hot water tank to use SolarImmersion.
