Hot water diverters are devices that can send excess solar power to a hot water cylinder. They send the exact amount of spare solar power to an electric element in a hot water cylinder. This effectively treats the hot water cylinder like a battery. By using the spare solar power to heat the water during the day, it causes the hot water cylinder to draw less power from the grid at night, hence it boosts self consumption and reduces the power bill over and above what a grid tie solar system can achieve. 

Generally a larger than normal solar power system can be installed and the bigger the volume of hot water storage is available, the bigger the savings can be achieved. 

Hot water diverters can also be used to power spa pool elements.

About the
Seller

Sunz Solar Energy Specialists was formed in 2000 to offer clients energy-efficient renewable energy solutions. Energy costs are rising and have been doing so for many years. The hydro lakes always seem to be in some state of emptiness, there’s no new oil and gas exploration allowed, and New Zealand imports coal from Australia just to keep our lights on. 

In the early days, solar water heating was the only real financially viable renewable technology so most of Sunz systems we built around highly efficient solar water heating products from Europe and the USA. Technical improvements and cost reductions in solar power and battery products over the last 10 years have these systems now not only financially viable for most New Zealand households and business, but actually the preferred option.

Energy costs are rising and have been doing so for many years. The hydro lakes always seem to be in some state of emptiness, there’s no new oil and gas exploration allowed, and New Zealand imports coal from Australia just to keep our lights on.

Sunz expertise is in offering energy-efficient solutions tailored to the clients’ requirements. We assess what the client wants to achieve and provide an integrated solution to meet that requirement, often combining multiple energy sources and technologies in our systems. While our systems are primarily renewable energy-based, we can integrate with almost any other energy source, grid power, gas, diesel, heat pump, wood, or waste process heat.

So whether it's providing electricity to power your home or business, or heating your home, your domestic hot water, swimming pool, or spa, we can offer a solution for you.
