    Note! Connected devices must be purely resistive consumers, e.g. heating rods, • electric boilers, convectors, heating mats or infrared panels! Connected devices must be suitable for variable supply voltages between 0 - 230 VAC (never use devices with electronic power supplies!). It is not possible to operate heating devices with electronic thermostats, •...

    Tip: To view the data in a more detailed view, tap directly on the individual bars in the diagram. To return to the higher level, tap the data logger button. The following data can be displayed: o PV power: Energy from the PV modules for the connected load o Mains power (if AC connected): Energy from the grid for the connected load.
  • Page 12 o BOOST relay status: Displays the current status of the relay (0 or 1). o ALARM relay status: Displays the current status of the relay (0 or 1). o Cloud status: Regardless of whether cloud mode is active or not, it is displayed whether the my-PV cloud server is accessible.

  • Page 13: Operating Modes

    Operating modes The wiring diagrams for the respective operating mode can be found in the enclosed assembly instructions and at any time in the current version at https://www.my-pv.com/en/info/downloads/. Operating mode M1: Hot water 6.1.1 Explanation In this operating mode, an electric heat generator is supplied continuously with excess PV. If a bimetal thermostat is present, the SOL•THOR switches off via this when the preset temperature is reached.
  • Page 14 TIP: We recommend limiting the times when the minimum temperature should be maintained to the morning and evening hours in order to increase PV self- consumption during the day. If you only want to use the BOOST button, enter 0 in all fields of the two time windows.

  • Page 15: Operating Mode M2: Hot Water Stratified Charging

    Operating mode M2: Hot water stratified charging 6.2.1 Explanation In this operating mode, two electric heating rods in a storage tank are supplied with PV energy in turn and in an infinitely variable manner. The upper heating rod has priority. The aim is to reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible at the tapping point, before any further surplus warms the rest of the storage tank contents.
  • Page 16 Automatic temperature boost backup "Relay": Alternatively, the minimum temperature can be maintained by enabling an external heat source. For details of wiring the potential-free contacts, please refer to the chapter "Boost Relays". The selection of the following setting: "WW1 min switching times"," WW 1 min weekdays" and the "Legionella mode"...
