Details
SOL•THOR is a 0 to 3.6 kW linearly regulated DC Power Manager for photovoltaic heat. The direct current power manager utilizes direct current from photovoltaic modules directly for heat generation. Solar power is efficiently converted into heat by transferring the direct current from the photovoltaic modules exclusively and with minimal loss to a connected heating element. A notable feature of the DC Power Manager is its autonomous operation. The device does not require a connection to the power grid, as it independently draws energy from the PV generator.
The Jury‘s Statement
The innovative concept for using solar power directly to generate heat represents a significant step towards a self-sufficient energy supply. “SOL-THOR” impresses with its ability to convert direct current into heat efficiently and without loss, without the need for a grid connection. This solution offers a sustainable option for building owners seeking independence from conventional energy sources.
