Combining an electric water heater with solar panels is becoming more popular among homeowners who want to save on gas and energy costs and avoid feed-in charges. A solar water heater is the perfect answer, using surplus solar energy to heat your water. This blog explains how an electric water heater on solar power works, what it brings and who it suits best.
A solar water heater, meaning an electric water heater combined with solar panels, works cleverly. When your panels generate more than the house needs at that moment, our smart energy management system sends that surplus to the heater to warm your water. Thanks to the smart heating element we supply with it, the surplus is put to good use.
Our electric water heaters can be connected to our smart energy management system, which tunes all your energy equipment to each other, from solar panels and water heaters to home batteries. The system continuously watches what your house uses and generates, and switches the heater on automatically when there is a surplus of solar power. That way you use as much of your own energy as possible, which means a bigger saving and more efficient use.

A solar water heater brings plenty of advantages, for your wallet and for the environment:
A solar water heater suits households that already have solar panels or plan to install them, and households that still use a lot of gas to heat their water. The system is ideal for families who want to lower their energy costs, and it gets more out of the energy you generate.
A solar water heater is a smart investment for anyone with solar panels who wants to make the most of the energy they generate and use less gas. By running your heater on surplus solar power you not only cut your energy costs, you also help towards a cleaner world. Curious how a solar water heater would work in your house?
