These panels can be coupled with the immersion heater on the hot water tank to produce free hot water using a device known as a power diverter or solar pv optimiser.
Solar panel immersion heater switch.
A solar power diverter constantly monitors the amount of electricity being generated by your system and compares it against how much energy is being used by your appliances.
Electricity produced through solar panels is used for heating water effectively and efficiently when attached to immersion water heaters equipped with sensors and controls.
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 will turn on the immersion heater when solar pv system produce more power than used inhouse all without effecting the pv meter readings.
Below is the graph showing the difference solarimmersion makes when installed with a solar pv system.
Immersion water heaters can be used in conjunction with solar power systems.
Immersion heaters powered by solar pv solar pv panels produce electricity from the sun.
Wattco can assist you in getting the most out of your energy dollars.

The switch can also be re configured to set the export level from 0 to 100w.
Discuss solar panel immersion heater automatic switch.
The highly efficient solarimmersion controller can divert almost 100 of the surplus power to the immersion heater or any other resistive load.
Gem will work with any solar pv system and uses a standard immersion heater to produce free hot water.
The system is simple to install and will not affect your feed in tariff payments if you have them.
When it detects that there is an excess it diverts this electricity to your immersion heater heating the water in your cylinder with free energy.
Gem works with wind generation systems too.
