How Ron From Hideaway Bay Put His Hot Water On The Sun's Schedule

The Setup

Solar First, Grid Second

Ron installed a GET Control solution with a hot water timer into his home in Hideaway Bay. This allows him to maximise the benefits of his solar panel solution. This solar solution generates power during the day and sends that power to the house to be used first.

The Solution

The Biggest Power User, Run Entirely By Solar

Ron had an existing electric hot water system so Green Energy Technologies installed and switched it onto a timer circuit and set it to heat during peak solar hours. This means that one of the largest power consuming items in the house is now run entirely by solar.

The solution includes a 5kW SolaX hybrid inverter with back to base monitoring, 5kW of solar panels, a hot water timer and a generator cutover switch.
