Using solar power directly for heat generation
SOL•THOR
SOL•THOR is a 0 to 3.6 kW linearly regulated DC Power Manager for photovoltaic heat.
The direct current power manager utilizes direct current from photovoltaic modules directly for heat generation. Solar power is efficiently converted into heat by transferring the direct current from the photovoltaic modules exclusively and with minimal loss to a connected heating element.
A notable feature of the DC Power Manager is its autonomous operation. The device does not require a connection to the power grid, as it independently draws energy from the PV generator.
The heating element, such as a my-PV immersion heater, is installed separately in the heat storage unit. This allows existing heating elements in current heat storage systems to be controlled with the SOL•THOR, enabling economical retrofitting of an ecological heating system.
SOL•THOR can be flexibly used with PV system consisting of 1 to 10 PV modules.
