Our selection of Solar Assisted Heat Pumps includes intelligent controllers that can send and receive a digital signal from a PV inverter in order to be informed when an inverter may be generating or exporting electricity. With an increasing number of consumers now producing their own electricity from solar PV, this technology is becoming more and more common.
The hot water cylinder is heated to a greater degree when the systems get this notification, acting as a battery to store the generated electricity in the form of hot water for later use by the consumer.
