Introduction and background
The SOLiC 200 is designed to work seamlessly with your
solar photovoltaic power generation system and
domestic hot water tank.
Its purpose is to divert surplus generated electrical
energy into a standard 3kW domestic immersion
heater.
The SOLiC 200 does not interfere with the existing solar
PV system in any way, so any warranties, seals and
solar wiring are not altered. No plumbing alterations
whatsoever are required. The generating capacity of
the solar PV system can be from 100W up, and still
provide useful power to the immersion heater.
The energy diverted into a typical domestic hot water
tank with this system averages at approximately 7kW a
day. This provides a noticeable reduction in the
amount of fossil fuel required to heat the water without
any reductions of FITs you are receiving.
