Solar iboost

Solar iBoost – Free Hot water from your PV Array
Uses your PV array to give you FREE hot water!

The Solar iBoost concept is to use the surplus solar PV energy generated at your home to heat the hot water in your household water tank and save you money.
Fit a Solar iBoost and watch your heating bills fall!
You will benefit from:

Maximising the use of the free solar energy generated at your property
Cutting the cost of heating your water
Reduced use of your boiler

Solar iBoost uses ONLY energy that would be exported, unlike some similar products, so you take the opportunity to use as much of the free energy that, unless you have an export meter, you are paid for anyway!

Here's how a typical household will see the benefit of the Solar iBoost

In a household with a PV array generating 2kW surplus, just 2.5 hrs is needed is needed to raise a 100L tank temperature from 20°C to 60°C giving a saving of approximately £0.50 per day based on average energy prices (Feb 2013).

Solar iBoost fits quickly and neatly into your airing cupboard, simply wired between the existing fused spur and the immersion heater.
It wirelessly receives information continuous from a sender device which activates the Solar iBoost to start water heating.
A single battery operated radio sensor clamps around the household mains input cable so there's no need for expensive wiring. The sender monitors the flow of electricity and transmits this information to the Solar iBoost.
The Solar iBoost intelligently controls the amount of energy fed into the immersion heater using information from the sender. It adjusts the energy flow to the immersion heater as your home consumption varies ensuring that only excess power is used.
There's no need to change your immersion heater as Solar iBoost works with any normal household immersion heater rated up to 3kW. Also suitable for use with dual immersion systems.
The digital display informs you how much energy has been saved both historically and in real time. The operating status is monitored and warning lights inform the user of any alerts.
Solar iBoost works in harmony with your Economy 7 or 10 utility tariffs via user programmable times.
A boost override switch with timed options gives the user complete control.
