The Solar iBoost+ detects excess solar energy generated by your PV system and diverts it to heat your hot water tank, reducing the need to draw power from the grid.
Professional installation is recommended. A qualified electrician or solar installer will have the necessary tools and expertise.
No, the iBoost Buddy is sold separately. It provides monitoring and control features for the Solar iBoost+.
Savings depend on your solar generation, hot water usage, and local electricity prices. You can typically expect to reduce your electricity bills by maximizing the use of your solar energy.
The Solar iBoost+ only diverts energy when there is an excess. If your solar panels are not generating sufficient power, the immersion heater will not be activated, and your hot water will be heated by other means, such as the grid.
You can monitor the performance using the optional iBoost Buddy, which provides real-time data on energy diversion and savings. Otherwise, observe your electricity meter and bills.
The Solar iBoost+ is generally compatible with standard hot water tanks with immersion heaters. Check for compatibility with your specific tank type and consult with an installer if needed.
The product information does not provide warranty information. Please check the product documentation for warranty details.
Check the power supply to the immersion heater and the Solar iBoost+. Ensure all connections are secure and the device is properly configured.
Verify that your solar panels are generating electricity. Check for any error messages on the iBoost+ display. If using the iBoost Buddy, check the monitoring data for any anomalies.
Consult the user manual for specific error codes and troubleshooting steps. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer's support.
Ensure the iBoost Buddy is properly paired with the Solar iBoost+. Check the network connection if applicable. Consult the iBoost Buddy manual for troubleshooting steps.
