THE GREEN GEYSER: REVOLUTIONIZING SOLAR PV STORAGE.
Unlock the full potential of your solar system by transforming your geyser into a thermal battery. In this article, we'll dive into the mechanics of efficiently heating your geyser using spare solar PV power, turning it into a reservoir for stored solar energy. Get ready to explore the design brilliance of XTEND elements, their low draw, the magic of PTC ceramic chip technology, and the element's shield - a stainless-steel tube. Let's elevate your solar savings and tackle the challenge of solar power storage, making every sunny day count.
Challenges of Traditional Solar Systems
Residential solar systems face a common hurdle with geysers - their hefty energy consumption. The standard 3kW and 4kW resistive elements can draw too much power for the solar inverter to handle. Adding to the complexity, battery storage is a pricey affair, often leaving systems with too little battery storage. However, this financial constraint births a silver lining: surplus solar power that's ready to roll, waiting for a purpose.
The Unsung Solar Hero
Enter the geyser, from villain to hero of your solar setup. It can store up to 8kW of energy on a sunny day, becoming the unsung champion of solar power storage. But wait, there's more. Traditional elements face efficiency erosion over time due to limescale build-up, demanding more energy for heating. XTEND elements come to the rescue, addressing these challenges with elegance.
The XTEND Advantage
- Efficiency Over Time: XTEND elements boast sustained efficiency over time, countering the usual decline.
- Ideal Draw for Inverters: With a low 2kW draw, XTEND elements play nice with residential solar inverters.
Efficient, Smart, and Limescale Proof
Using spare solar power to het the geyser maximises the value of your solar PV system. Geysers outshine batteries in value, storing solar energy as heat for your evening shower. XTEND PTC elements match the power draw to the rate of heat transfer, allowing a 2kW XTEND to do the work of a 3kW standard element: Like a superhero!
The stainless-steel casing keeps limescale at bay. Combined with dry burn protection this ensures your element's longevity and efficiency.
Making Rands and Cents
Your pocket gets a breather as integrating spare solar power trims down your electricity bills. Say goodbye to geyser-related evening loads and hello to economic advantages. It's a win-win, maximizing spare power while keeping battery expenses in check.
It is also good for load shedding and moving loads from the morning and evening into the night and day helps the grid. Especially as more and more solar is installed.
Conclusion: Your Geyser´s Transformation
Wrapping up; using spare solar power to heat your geyser isn't just an upgrade; it's an investment in your solar system's performance. With XTEND elements, your once pricey geyser becomes a valuable solar asset, boosting returns and making your solar investment shine a little brighter.
