Overview

The SolarEdge Smart Energy Management solutions allow increasing the self-consumption of a site. One
method used for this purpose is controlling the usage (consumption) of loads using Device Control
products.
The SolarEdge Device Control units divert power to an appliance (load) according to pre-configured
schedules, using the following modes:
Schedule - The product diverts power to the load during the configured time-slots, using excess PV
l
power or, if none is available, using grid power.
Smart Save - The product begins diverting power to the device once there is excess PV power, even
l
prior to the configured time-slots, to maximize self-consumption and minimize consumption from
the grid during the scheduled time-slot.
Refer to for examples of the device modes of operation.
You can re-configure the schedules at any time and manually switch appliances on and off.
You can configure the Device Control products locally through the SolarEdge inverter or remotely, via
the SolarEdge monitoring portal.
The SolarEdge Immersion Heater Controller (referred to as "the device" throughout) is a Device Control
product that diverts excess energy produced by the PV system to a load, normally a hot water heater.
The Immersion Heater Controller saves energy and reduces utility bills by storing energy as hot water
during the day when surplus energy is high, and providing free hot water later on in the day.
