Cool Energy diverTech Manual v1.1 2022 ©
Section 1
Introduction
Product Overview
The Cool Energy diverTech Solar Energy Diverter is designed to harvest energy that would normally be exported to
the grid. It monitors the whole house electricity supply and when export is detected it starts to divert electricity to
a heating element in 100W increments, upto 3600w. Two elements can be connected and heated sequentially
with element 1 always taking priority. The device will also show real time data of unit status and total energy
saved.
Common FAQ’s
What can I connect to my diverTech?
The diverTech is designed for use with up to 2 immersion heaters each rated up to 3kW for water heating,
although it is possible to connect other resistive heaters like towel radiator elements.
The heating elements should always have their own thermostat controls, independent of the connection to the
diverTech unit.
How does the diverTech know when my heating element is satisfied?
When the set temperature is reached on each element the external thermostat operates to switch the element off
which the diverTech unit detects automatically. Once the first element is satisfied it automatically switches over to
heat the second (if connected). Every 20 minutes following this the diverTech will check the first elements
requirement for heat and as such treats this with priority over the second element.
When does my diverTech energy diverter start to work?
As your PV array starts to generate more power than what you are using within your property, the diverTech unit
detects this using the CT clamp. It then begins to harvest this free export energy by diverting it to the heating
elements.
What happens if I switch on other appliances whilst the diverTech is working?
Don’t worry, the diverTech will detect the change in consumption and adjust automatically.
How do I know how much energy the diverTech has saved me?
The diverTech has a built-in display, which can display savings from Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, Last 28 Days, &
Total Savings.
How does it work when battery storage is installed at the same property?
The diverTech units default export threshold setting is 100W. When installed with a battery system with a cut-in
below 100W no changes are normally necessary as the battery storage system would always be prioritized by
default.
What happens if I have a power cut?
Don’t worry, the diverTech will automatically restart and retain all of your settings and saved data
