Key Features

Benefits

• Can help maximise self-consumption of PV energy by improving use of excess generation.
• Can support backup operation by switching off non-essential loads.
• Can simplify control of multiple loads through dry contact switching and external contactor control.
• Low standby power consumption may be beneficial where minimal parasitic load is required.
