7.10 B5 Photovoltaic
The domestic hot water heat pump (DHWHP) can be controlled by a signal from a solar
photovoltaic (PV) converter or an energy meter, either as simple start/stop via a potential free
contact or by a variable signal.
The diagrams below represent possible installation configurations with or without energy meter.
Using the variable signal option, a certain output (VDC or mA) from the (PV) inverter or the
energy meter corresponds to a given amount of excess power for use in the DHWHP. This
excess power can be used to activate either the electrical immersion heater, the heat pump (HP)
or both.
PV installation 1: control signal from inverter.
PV installation 2: control signal from energy meter.
