The EDDI has reduced my gas consumption by 1500 to 2000 units per annum since installation in 2019. This is a very clever alternative, enjoyed the video.
Yes, I am using the Sunsynk AUX feature here in South Africa, and it really helps to save costs on the immersion heater costs. Sunsynk is just the best. Rick solid engineering.
In other regions such as South Africa, Nigeria where this type is often popular, they use backup generators to run or charge the batteries on cloudy days hence the extra port. Other brands such as Victron also have this output. This video came in just at the right moment though, so thank you!
i believe you can feed warm water to a combi boiler to save gas they each have there own input temperatures for maximum efficiency so you need a thermal valve to get it to the right temperature so the hot water you have generated could be used directly or via a combi boiler this is also a good argument for some solar thermal to reduce gas consumption
My LuxPower hybrid inverter has a similar thing, in this case called EPS, I use it to power my central heating boiler and WiFi router, so those stay on in case of a power cut and the power used does not count towards the G.98 limit for the house.
Thanks for that. Immersion setup is way out of my budget and I live alone. LiFePo4 battery cost is so low today compared to 2 years ago treat yourself to a year round 15 feet pool.
Frankly if you have the space get an etc water heater. Or if wanna use lectriks then a heatpump for hot water unless you live in a frigid zone. Or if paucity of muchos dineros then can always buy a stainless steel tank, insulate it, drop an immersion heater element inside, voila you have an immersion style water heater.
Better off getting a 'solar boost' hot water controller to apply the exact amount of excess power to the water heater, so as not to waste battery storage and battery life...
I confess that I'm starting to feel sorry for the poor, old rectifier whose essential contribution to power conversion is being steadily eclipsed by the ubiquitous inverter. It's probably already too late to change the way we refer to the box of tricks as an inverter when it is, in fact, acting at least part of the time as a rectifier. To me, 'power converter' would be more acceptable and more accurate whilst acknowledging the impressive capabilities of the power electronic devices and their control algorithms. I guess it's probably already too late, though.
I think the term inverter is fine, even the most basic solar inverter has been a much more complicated multi stage device under the hood. Would have been nice if we called hybrid bi-directional though.
I’m not sure it’s worth needlessly cycling your battery, the eddy tracks your excess generation so only that goes into the cylinder which avoids cycling the battery

Thanks - we are looking at another solution using Shelly devices.

Great insight 👍
Great Video, Good explanation

That's a really clever feature. Makes sense if you are getting solar PV and large batteries

Most inverters have features like this it’s under used however currently on octopus feed in pays more money and offpeak hours cheaper
Living in NI we Octopus is not in our Electric market.
Are there any installers out there in the south east of the uk that will work with clients that have half a clue what they want with sunsynk units.
"Using 4kW of energy per day"
Whaaaaaat???
4kWh of energy maybe...
It's a sad state of affairs when these extremely experienced electricians don't know the difference between Power (W) and Energy (Wh).

The sunsynks can do this as well already built in to the inverter
Open secret
We dump energy as waste heat to stop the huge transport costs 'our' 'cheap' windmills at sea add.
The grid became more expensive than power due to crazy wind&solar madness.
Huh? The electricity price you pay in the U.K. is dictated by the high prices of gas. Not renewables.
