Solar PV / Solar PV load diverting switches
May 30, 2014, 08:21:32 AM
Hey all,

Solar switching devices are catching up with the output of solar pvs going up. Normally any extra or idle power gets diverted to the grid for FIT payout. However the payout covers approximately only 50% of the power generated by the pv system. This means that any surplus power generated is just not paid out. The solution is a switching device that makes full use of the energy produced.
are intelligent devices that detect how much electricity generate is produced and how is consumed. The surplus power is calculated and diverted to other appliances such as immersion heaters to heat water.
