EarthWise SOLiC 200 User Instructions - Mode 1
Mode 1
The SOLiC 200 senses the power produced by the solar
array, and feeds the power above a pre-set threshold
into the immersion heater.
For example; if the house uses 500W and the solar
generator is producing 700W, the SOLiC 200 will only
divert the difference above the pre-set threshold. If the
threshold is set at 500W, then 200W will feed into the
immersion heater.
If the generator is producing 700W, threshold is 500W
and the house is now using 400W, then 200W will heat
the water and 100W will be exported.
Benefits: If the average household power use is
consistent throughout the day, very little power is
exported to the grid. The threshold can be manually
fine-tuned by a qualified electrician or installer
depending on your usage habits. A very high
efficiency can be achieved, ensuring maximum
effectiveness of the system. This mode can be used for
standard off-grid systems.
Mode 2
The SOLiC 200 senses the total house power fed back
into the grid, and then varies the power to the
immersion heater, until the grid feed-in power is
reduced to zero.
