Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels continue to be installed on roofs of houses and commercial buildings across England as the price Oil, Gas, LPG and Electricity continues to rise year up-on-year; it would probably look very odd to walk down a street and not see a house with Solar Panels.
Eco Installer, Renewable Heating Specialists based in Ely, Cambridgeshire are experts in installing Solar energy systems. Over the last 6 months, Mike our Electrical Director has installed a Solar iBoost with all 23 Solar Photovoltaic (PV) installations carried out.
A Solar iBoost is an immersion controller that uses the energy you are generating from your Solar Photovoltaic (PV) array that you are not otherwise using in the home to heat the water for FREE. The intelligent wireless system adjusts its power control with the varying household consumption ensuring only excess PV power is being diverted to heat the hot water.
The image above shows a solar iBoost control on a recent install; the display indicates the solar generation and spare energy being diverted to the hot water so you can see exactly what your system is doing. The innovative system is easy to install and operate and is normally installed at the same time as your solar panels but can also be installed after.
