Feature: Energy Harvesting
Modern power diverters help homeowners maximise the value of their self-generated renewables.
charge’ a heat pump or water heater, shifting to full power when it reaches a higher load, which offsets the need to draw power from the grid. Diverters can even be configured to send energy to multiple heating appliances in sequence, automatically switching between devices to provide the greatest efficiency. With the ability to make intelligent decisions every second, modern power diverters help homeowners maximise the value of their self-generated renewables.
The future of microgeneration While most microgeneration, storage and power diversion tech can work autonomously, they also work collaboratively as part of a connected ecosystem. This means that users with a suite of products can effectively choose how to generate electricity, plus where and when to send use it, whether to heat the home, to charge an EV, to store for later or anything in-between. As we move towards a more
decentralised, decarbonised and distributed energy system, environmentally and cost-conscious consumers will more and more play a vital role as they take further control of their energy generation and consumption. Eco-smart devices will quickly become valuable energy assets, and British homes will increasingly become small-scale virtual power plants which offer crucial, flexible grid support, significantly raising UK energy security while simultaneously lowering carbon dioxide emissions.
