These instructions provide information on the installation, operation and
programming of the unit. Please keep this booklet safe for future
reference.
The Solar is designed to be used in conjunction with micro-generation systems,
e.g. solar PV, where surplus energy generated can be stored within a domestic hot water
cylinder in the form of hot water. By monitoring the amount of energy being exported to
the National Grid the Solar unit will divert energy into an immersion heater when
the energy generated exceeds the amount of energy consumed within the property. Solar
controls the energy delivered to the immersion heater in proportion to that
exported.
Before use, please read these instructions carefully
