PHOTOVOLTAIC COMPATIBILITY Thanks to photovoltaic compatibility, heat pump water heaters are open to Smart Grid technology. Combined with a photovoltaic installation, heat pump water heaters give you free energy storage, since photovoltaic panels collect free solar energy and send it to the heat pump water heater for storage and use. Therefore, solar and heat pump energy allow you to heat water at no cost, as well as supplying free energy to domest ic appl iances, no matter the weather. • More energy savings on all of your installed appliances • Free energy storage • Low-consumption water heater that offers continuous energy savings, no matter the weather • Use of solar and heat pump energy to heat water at no cost, and to supply free energy to domestic appliances • A specific connection to automatically switch to photovoltaic energy when available Solar energy is collected by the photovoltaic panels and sent to the inverter to adapt to all of the installed household appliances 1 Electricity is then sent to the working domestic appliances or to the power grid 2 Explorer is working on the power grid supply (normal electricity supply) 3 1 2 3 PHOTOVOLTAIC MODE When activated, this mode allows Explorer to use free solar energy to produce hot water. Photovoltaic mode maximises consumption of your own energy thanks to 3 features: • During the night, set temperature is reduced to 45°C, allowing Explorer to use less energy to heat water. • During the day, when a photovoltaic signal is detected, Explorer uses the solar energy to produce a store of hot water at the maximum set temperature (62°C). • If no photovoltaic signal is detected, Explorer gets back to its previous mode to heat water.
