Turn surplus solar power into free hot water.
Maximise your self-consumption with an intelligent energy diverter.
Electrical Exchange, covering Dorset and Hampshire from our Christchurch base, specialises in helping you get the most out of your solar investment. Many homeowners are unaware that a significant portion of their generated solar power is often sent back to the National Grid for very little return.
Our expert team provides professional installation and setup of energy diverters, allowing you to "store" that surplus energy as hot water. By redirecting excess power to your immersion heater before it leaves your home, we help you cut costs, reduce reliance on gas, and lower your carbon emissions.
Whether you're in Christchurch, Bournemouth, or the surrounding Dorset area, we provide the technical expertise to make your home more self-sufficient.
Drastically lower your heating costs by using 100% of your generated power.
Reduce the strain on your primary heating system during the sunnier months.
Seamlessly works with your existing solar panels and immersion tank.
Track your savings and energy flow via dedicated smartphone apps.
Installing an energy diverter offers immediate benefits for any residential property with solar PV. By monitoring your energy generation in real-time, these devices ensure that no "spare" electricity goes to waste - instead of buying energy from the grid to heat your water, you use what you've already generated for free.
An energy management system that diverts surplus power from your solar PV to your water heater. Full app integration, and works with any existing solar setup.
Specifically designed for homes with SolarEdge inverters - automatically channels excess energy into your hot water tank, for 100% self-consumption.
We visit your property for a free, no-obligation assessment - checking your existing solar setup, inverter brand and immersion heater to confirm the right diverter for your home.
We match your setup to the right diverter, MyEnergi Eddi or the SolarEdge Hot Water Controller, and confirm compatibility with your existing solar and immersion system before installation begins.
Our qualified electricians install and wire in the diverter alongside your existing solar PV and immersion heater - most installations are completed in a single visit.
The system is tested and commissioned, and you receive full handover paperwork plus a walkthrough of the app-based monitoring - ready to start saving on hot water straight away.
