Sync Energy Solar Power Diverter

The Sync Energy Solar Power Diverter is designed to maximise the use of surplus solar generation within domestic properties by redirecting excess energy to an immersion heater or compatible resistive load. When a solar system is producing more electricity than the home is using, the diverter automatically sends that unused energy to heat water instead of exporting it back to the grid.

Manufactured for integration with Sync Energy home energy systems, this diverter works alongside hybrid inverters and battery storage to improve overall solar self-consumption. It provides a simple, effective way to make better use of solar generation throughout the day without requiring complex system changes.

Make Better Use of Solar Generation

In many homes, solar panels generate more electricity than is immediately required. Without a diverter, that excess energy is often exported to the grid. This unit monitors generation and demand in real time and diverts spare power to a hot water immersion heater when available.

• Diverts excess solar energy to immersion heating
• Improves solar self-consumption
• Reduces exported energy
• Works alongside battery storage systems
• Automatic real-time operation
• Designed for domestic solar installations

This approach helps properties make practical use of daytime solar generation, particularly in homes where hot water demand aligns with solar output. It also complements battery systems by ensuring surplus generation is used efficiently across the home.

Designed for UK Solar Systems

The Sync Energy Solar Power Diverter is suitable for UK domestic installations and integrates easily into existing solar PV systems. It can be specified alongside a new system installation or added to an existing setup to improve energy usage.

Its compact design allows installation near the consumer unit or hot water cylinder, making it a practical addition to plant rooms, airing cupboards or utility spaces. The unit operates automatically once installed and configured, requiring minimal ongoing interaction.

Simple Automatic Operation

The diverter continuously monitors incoming solar generation and household demand. When surplus power is detected, it redirects that energy to the immersion heater, helping ensure generated electricity is used within the home wherever possible.

If you’re wondering whether this works alongside battery storage, it can be used in systems that include both batteries and solar, helping distribute excess generation efficiently between storage and hot water heating.

Refer to technical specifications and compatibility guidance when pairing with existing solar and battery systems.

System Integration and Compatibility

The Sync Energy Solar Power Diverter is designed to work within a broader home energy system, particularly in properties using solar panels and hybrid inverters. It monitors real-time energy generation and demand, diverting surplus electricity to a water heating element when available.

By using excess solar energy for hot water, the diverter helps improve overall system efficiency and reduce wasted generation. It is particularly useful in homes where daytime solar production exceeds immediate electrical demand.

• Compatible with solar PV systems
• Works alongside Sync Energy hybrid inverter setups
• Supports battery and solar installations
• Suitable for immersion heater applications
• Designed for domestic UK properties

The unit can be installed as part of a new solar system or added to an existing installation to improve solar energy usage.

Performance and Operation

The diverter operates automatically once installed. It monitors solar generation and household consumption, directing surplus electricity to the immersion heater whenever spare capacity is available. This helps ensure that generated solar power is used within the property rather than exported unnecessarily.

• Automatic energy diversion
• Real-time monitoring of generation and demand
• Improves solar utilisation
• Supports energy-efficient home setups

This makes the diverter a practical addition for properties looking to make better use of solar generation without adding complexity to the system.

Dimensions and Installation

The unit features a compact wall-mounted design suitable for installation near the consumer unit or hot water cylinder. Its straightforward wiring and configuration allow it to be integrated into most domestic solar systems by a qualified installer.

• Wall-mounted unit
• Single-phase supply
• Suitable for domestic installations

Installers should follow manufacturer guidance for wiring and system integration to ensure correct operation.
