What are Solar PV Diverters?
Also known as immersion diverters, power diverters, energy diverters and immersion optimisers, solar PV diverters work to optimise your solar energy usage.
By attaching a solar diverter to your existing solar PV system you can benefit from another great cost-saving perk. An immersion power diverter boosts your solar energy consumption by providing you with free hot water.
If you have a solar PV panel system without battery storage or a solar diverter, any unused energy generated goes straight back to the grid.
A solar PV diverter prevents this from happening and ensures you get the added benefit of using this surplus energy to power the immersion heater in your hot water tank. Here the hot water will be stored for you to use when needed. Therefore, a solar PV diverter can further reduce your energy bills.
How do Solar PV Diverters work?
A solar PV diverter is a clever device; it monitors the amount of electricity your solar panel system is generating, and how much energy you need to power your home. It then calculates when solar energy needs to be diverted.
If your energy needs are low or if your battery storage is at full capacity, extra energy will flow back into the grid. Again, the solar PV diverter recognises when there is surplus energy and re-directs it to power the immersion heater, leaving you with a tank full of free hot water.
On the other hand, if your home demands more energy elsewhere, the solar PV diverter will reduce the amount of energy being used to heat water. Basically, your solar PV diverter will determine where your home uses electricity most and prioritise your most essential energy needs.
The advantages of heating your water with solar PV
Add a solar PV diverter to your solar panel system at any time.
Free hot water and reduced energy bills.
Further reduce your carbon footprint.
Once installed, diverters will start re-directing your excess energy straight away.
Use 100% of your solar energy with a diverter.
A solar PV diverter costs less and is easier to maintain than Solar Thermal.

Relying on free solar energy means that you will cut your energy costs significantly. Eddi, and Solar iBoost+ are diverters that are compatible with most solar battery storage.
Charging your battery will always be the priority over diverting excess solar energy. Once charged, the extra energy will be diverted to heat water. Solar diverter technology has advanced enough to include a clear, user-friendly display, where you can see when power is being redirected to the immersion heater and how much energy you’re saving. Data shows how much energy you have saved over the course of the day, the last week and even a month.

Are Solar panels right for you?
In order to get the most out of your solar pv cells your roof should face between east and west.
Your roof must be structurally sound to support the additional weight of the solar panels and mounting hardware.
Your roof should receive as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. Shadows from other buildings or trees can reduce the amount of electricity your solar panels produce.
