Installation Guide
Welcome to the Powerdiverter!
Thank you for purchasing this Powerdiverter. The Powerdiverter is the most flexible, cost-effective
solar energy manager on the market, designed to save you money on your fuel bills from the day
it’s installed.
Powerdiverter works with your solar PV system to store excess solar energy in the form of heat in
a hot water storage tank or storage heaters in your home (think of them as “heat batteries”!). By
storing your solar energy, rather than exporting it, Powerdiverter saves you money every day on
your electricity bills.
Here’s how it works. Your solar panels (1) generate electricity which is converted to standard 240V
AC mains energy by the solar inverter (2). This energy is measured by your solar and supply meter
(3). If no appliances are turned on in the home to consume the energy, it gets exported out to the
grid (7). But with the addition of the Powerdiverter Sensor (4) and a Powerdiverter Controller (5), the
excess solar energy can be diverted from going out to the grid and instead stored in your hot water
tank (6) during the day for use later. Simple!
Originally launched in the UK, this new Powerdiverter has been re-designed for Australia and
New Zealand with full support for higher power water heaters up to 4.8kW and higher ambient
temperatures than we see in the UK.
The Powerdiverter offers ease and flexibility of installation. With the wireless solar power sensor
unit you can fit the Powerdiverter indoors or outdoors without drilling through walls.
With the wired sensor input on the controller, you have the option
to connect the sensor directly.
