Redirecting Unused Electricity To Existing Hot Water Immersion Heater

If your home has a hot water cylinder, this will likely include an immersion heater, even if gas is the primary energy source.  The immersion is usually powered from a fused switch which will become the supply to the Solar iBoost+, or your installer will fit the required local isolator. The Solar iBoost+ is then used to control the immersion automatically from the excess PV energy and manually when you need additional hot water.

The system operates by responding to the levels of energy export at the property according to the variable parameters of changing weather, energy consumption and generation. These are constantly changing, and the electronic controller can process the information to ensure that only excess power is delivered to the Solar iBoost + automatically.
