The Brief:
This is a 6 kWp Solar PV system paired with a biomass boiler and hot water tank.
The Solution:
Our client already had a biomass heating system in place with a large buffer tank and provision for hot water immersion heater. The aim was to reduce burning wooden pellets during the summer season(biomass) and utilise the excess solar photovoltaic energy to fulfil the hot water needs.
The solution we have applied in this case was to design a fully integrated system that combines the solar PV, biomass boiler, hot water tank and Solar PV power diverter to optimize energy usage.
The smart microgeneration power diverter monitors the electricity production from the solar PV panels and the energy demand in the property. By installing the Solar PV power diverter, we are directing the excess energy from the solar panels to the Domestic Hot Water Cylinder instead of being exported to the National Grid.
This innovative system allows our customer to make the most of the renewable energy generated by their own solar panels and use it to heat their water for FREE.
The smart microgeneration power diverter allows us to fully utilize the renewable energy that the solar panels generate, making it an excellent choice for anyone who is committed to sustainable living.
Here's what our customer had to say:
"We've just been looking at our pellet usage comparing pre-Eddi and post-Eddi. It shows a 30% reduction in pellets this year compared to the average for the previous 7 years. That's 126 fewer 10kg bags. This summer (May to Sept) we used just 17 bags. Last summer we used 84 bags. That's 67 10kg bags less with Eddi over those 5 months. At £4.65 a 10kg bag that's £310 saved this summer and £590 over the year! Eddi will pay for itself in 3 years."
It's truly remarkable to see the significant impact that power diverter has had on our customer's pellet consumption. A 30% reduction in pellet usage not only means cost savings but also a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to heating.
