What Is An Eddi Diverter

Created by John Jackson, Modified on Fri, 11 Apr at 1:24 PM by John Jackson

An Eddi Diverter is a solar power diverter that redirects excess energy generated by solar panels or wind turbines to a designated heating appliance, like an immersion heater, instead of exporting it back to the grid. This maximizes the use of self-generated energy and can reduce energy bills by using it to heat water or other heating systems.

Function:

The Eddi diverter acts as an intelligent energy management system. It monitors the power generated by your solar or wind system and the electricity consumption of your home.

Surplus Power:

When your solar or wind system generates more power than your home needs, the Eddi diverter detects this surplus and automatically diverts it to a pre-selected heating appliance

It is AC Coupled on the Grid Side and monitors excess being exported to the Grid. Similar to Sunsynk Inverters they use a CT Clamp to monitor exported excess energy. Therefore if Storage Batteries are used in the system too, then it is vitally important to fit the Sunsynk CT Clamp on the 'inside' of the Eddi Diverter CT Clamp. In other words the Eddi Diverter CT Clamp is positioned closer to the Grid. This is to ensure that the Sunsynk gets first priority of any excess power to divert this excess to charge the Batteries. More especially where a String Inverter may also be AC Coupled on the system and inputting additional excess solar power.
