4Eco, the UK’s leading designer and manufacturer of surplus PV energy controllers, is set to officially launch the immerSUN 2 at Ecobuild 2013.
Developed for both commercial and domestic installations, the immerSUN 2 has been specifically designed with ease of installation and use, cost savings and efficient energy management in mind.
Once installed, the immerSUN 2 will reduce an average household’s energy bill by around £250 per year, by diverting electricity generated by PV panels directly to the immersion heater, with additional savings available by using the internal relay to direct surplus energy to space heaters, such as underfloor or storage. Without the immerSUN 2, the electricity would be exported to the grid, rather than be used for heating.
Lincolnshire-based 4Eco introduced the first immerSUN in 2012 and since then has manufactured and supplied over 2,500 units, with homeowners keen to maximise the financial benefits of having solar PV fitted to their property.
“Lots of people think that simply by having solar PV fitted they will see their electricity bills fall dramatically,” said Jodi Huggett, Business Development Director at 4Eco. “However, this isn’t necessarily the case as only 25% of power generated from PV is typically consumed within the house.
“The immerSUN 2 is by far the most advanced, reliable and cost effective system on the market and is backed up by excellent customer service and support.
“Furthermore, the system can intelligently adapt to changing requirements, if the electrical load from the house increases. This means that if an electrical device is turned on, wattage directed to the immersion or storage heater will be reduced, giving the user greater energy flexibility.
“With utility costs rising and more interest than ever before in living in harmony with the environment, embracing the latest green technologies really is the ideal solution for an environmentally friendly future,” added Jodi.
The immerSUN 2 includes several new innovative features, including a touch screen, accurate monitoring system and downloadable usage graphs. The immerSUN 2 is more technologically advanced than ever, helping users to minimise utility bills and cut PV payback time.
Ease of installation and a current MRP of £365 presents electrical wholesalers and PV installers with an attractive product, which delivers significant savings to homeowners.
