Mixergy 3rd Party PV Diverter Connection Kit - Relay Switch for External PV Diverter
The Mixergy Relay Switch Connection Kit for External PV Diverter (MAS0086-01) is a dedicated connection kit that allows a Mixergy X hot water cylinder to work with third‑party solar PV diverters, enabling surplus solar energy to be diverted into the cylinder’s immersion heater.
Product Description
This relay-based connection kit (often referred to as the Mixergy PV Switch) lets the cylinder’s immersion accept a variable power signal from an external PV diverter such as Solar iBoost+, Solic 200 or MyEnergi Eddi. It is designed to be retrofitted to existing Mixergy X cylinders or installed alongside new cylinders without changing the tank, turning the Mixergy unit into a smart, solar‑ready hot water store.
Key Features
- PV diverter interface: Provides the switching interface between the Mixergy immersion and a third‑party variable‑power PV diverter.
- Third‑party compatibility: Compatible with popular devices including Solar iBoost+, Solic 200, MyEnergi Eddi and most other variable‑power solar diverters.
- Retrofit ready: Can be added later to existing Mixergy X tanks without replacing the cylinder.
- Maintains smart control: Mixergy tank remains fully smart, retaining app, scheduling and level‑sensing features while the diverter controls solar input.
- Optimised solar use: Allows the tank to act as a “solar battery”, storing surplus PV as hot water using Mixergy’s top‑down heating characteristics.
How It Works with External PV Diverters (FAQ Highlights)
- Compatibility: An existing Mixergy X tank can work with any third‑party PV diverter as long as the Mixergy PV Switch/relay kit is installed. If the installer supplied one originally, you are ready to connect; if not, it can be added later without changing the tank.
- Function of the kit: The relay/PV Switch allows the Mixergy immersion to accept a variable power signal from the diverter. The diverter then decides how much surplus solar power is sent, while the Mixergy tank heats from the top down, giving usable hot water earlier in the day.
- Smart features retained: With a diverter connected, the tank still heats efficiently, shows accurate hot water levels, follows schedules and allows Boost and app control. The diverter simply becomes the device that determines how much solar power is delivered to the immersion.
- Control limitations: When a third‑party diverter is in use, Mixergy cannot stop solar diversion at a specific percentage (e.g. 40–50% volume). The tank becomes a passive recipient of whatever excess solar the diverter sends.
- Temperature targets: During solar diversion, the immersion is powered outside of Mixergy’s digital control. The diverter determines run time, and the tank relies on the immersion’s manual high‑limit thermostat rather than the app’s target temperature. To avoid overheating on sunny days, Mixergy recommend turning the high‑limit stat down one notch from 5 to 4.
- Main benefit: Mixergy can pre‑heat just enough hot water for the morning routine, leaving maximum cold volume available for free solar heating during the day. This makes the tank behave like a low‑cost solar battery, often delivering better PV utilisation than a traditional cylinder.
Technical & Installation Notes
- MPN: MAS0086-01 (Mixergy Relay Switch Connection Kit / PV Switch).
- Use case: Connection of a Mixergy X direct or indirect cylinder’s immersion to an external PV diverter output.
- Electrical: Relay/switch gear rated for immersion load as per Mixergy specification (installer must follow Mixergy wiring diagrams and diverter manufacturer’s instructions).
- Installer requirement: Should be installed by a qualified electrician or competent installer familiar with unvented cylinder and PV diverter wiring.
- System behaviour: Mixergy remains the “smart tank” (sensing, scheduling, Boost), while the PV diverter becomes the “solar controller” deciding when and how much surplus energy is sent to the immersion.
Applications
- Integrating Mixergy X cylinders with existing or new PV diverters where customers want to maximise self‑consumption.
- Retrofit upgrades on installed Mixergy tanks to add solar diversion capability.
- Projects where the PV diverter must remain the primary PV control device but the property still benefits from Mixergy smart features and top‑down heating.
