Introducing Solar iBoost+ from Marlec, the latest automatic water heating device for PV system owners that helps save energy and money. With increased efficiency and extra functions, you can enjoy even more savings on your energy bill. And with the iBoost+ Buddy, you can conveniently monitor and control Solar iBoost+ from the comfort of your own home.

Installed in over 45,000 UK homes, The Solar iBoost+ features multiple key functions that make it a smart and reliable investment. With its rapid response to varying home consumption and changing weather, the device ensures that it only uses excess solar generated power that would usually be exported. It can also connect to two boiler immersion heaters, switching between them automatically to maximize electric water heating systems. The device displays real-time information, such as "Heating by Solar 1.6kW," and historical energy-saving figures at the push of a button. With a simple programmable timer, the Solar iBoost+ can work in harmony with your existing water heating system and offers separate winter and summer settings.

The Solar PV immersion diverter also comes with a built-in boost override switch that keeps you in control, so you can top up your hot water in 15-minute increments up to 2 hours straight from the grid if required. The wireless sender eliminates unsightly and costly wiring, while the LED's give an instant visual indication of the system in operation. Investing in the Solar iBoost+ is a smart choice that not only helps you save on your energy bills but also contributes to a greener planet by generating your hot water from solar panels.

 

How it works:

1. Using just a single clamp installed at the household meter, the sender transmits vital export energy information to the Solar iBoost+ wirelessly.


2. Solar iBoost+ is activated when excess energy is available. It intelligently controls and adjusts the flow of energy to the immersion in proportion with the fluctuating export levels.


3. Water is heated during the day using excess energy only up to the immersion thermostat's setting. You can top up if required from usual heating methods or using the Solar iBoost's grid power functions.

 

Installation is quick and easy, as the Solar iBoost+ fits neatly next to your water cylinder, wired simply between a fused spur and the immersion. No need to change your standard immersion heater up to 3kW. Upgrade your home with the Solar iBoost+ today!

Very pleased so far, quick installation and already seen marked improvement on gas usage. Controls are simple and the wireless connection is proving strong so far across a few internal walls.
