(10A is the utilisation capability for ELWA, there is no problem with using bigger PV panels, the Isc above 10A is dissipated. You can estimate the system by using ELWA dimensioning sheet link above, only red conditions should be avoided)
ELWA is a 2 kW photovoltaic water heating device. Direct current from photovoltaic modules is transferred directly to the built-in heating element and immediately converted into heat without loss. The built-in MPP Tracker ensures that the PV generator is always operated at the optimum operating point (similar to a PV inverter). For operation, no connection to the mains is required as the unit is powered by the PV generator (pure off-grid operation). The desired DHW temperature is set with a rotary knob, LED displays inform about the current device status.
Due to the patented boost-backup function, hot water supply can be guaranteed even during bad weather. This makes it possible to completely switch off the conventional heating system in summer. This also increases its lifespan.
For commissioning the boost-backup function, ELWA can be easily connected to a mains socket. There is no feed-in into the grid, so it does not need a metering point like a grid-connected PV system.
Easier and cheaper than thermal solar systems | |||||||||||||
No grid operator approval required You save yourself tedious administrative work, because ELWA does not feed electricity into the grid. Especially in multi-storey apartment projects, the approval can take several months for grid-connected PV systems. |
|||||||||||||
Easiest installation with "cables instead of pipes", less valuable copper, no maintenance costs. | |||||||||||||
Stratification-heating possible with 2 devices. | |||||||||||||
Even works in case of power failure. | |||||||||||||
Boost-backup optionally usable. | |||||||||||||
No anti-freezing liquid necessary | |||||||||||||
Cables have almost no energy loss compared to pipes Technical data
OPTIONAL USB Interface for ELWA Off-Grid Electrical Water Heater ELWA has an integrated data logger. With the USB interface and the free ELWA software, you can read out your solar yields and see, for example, the temperature increase of your hot water. In addition, device settings can be easily customized for your individual needs.

415W Perlight Solar Panels Mono Percium - All Black, 1719 x 1140mm x 30mm
The Triple Black DELTΔ SERIES cell module from Perlight has proven extremely popular in the UK due to its sleek looks and diminutive size.
It is completely black with black busbars, a black back sheet and a black frame, which when installed in arrays, offers a more uniform appearance, enabling PV modules to integrate into new and existing buildings without necessarily making the array the focal point.
Not just aesthetically pleasing, the 415W Delta Black Monocrystalline module has PERC technology which essentially enables to improve light capture near the rear surface and to optimize electrons capture.
This module continues the trend from Perlight of well made, good looking products that offer outstanding value for money.
The Black Plus Series is an excellent all-round module, which is sleek and robust. Proven performance, stylish appearance and high-efficiency monocrystalline PERC cells. Concealed link busbars at either end of the module provide a more elegant finish than other black modules on the market. Crafted with precision and expert skill, the Black Plus Series offers outstanding build quality and reliability.
Use with Tracer MPPT's - for a single panel on a 12V system you can use a 30A MPPT with this panel.
This listing is for 1 panel, simply select how many you need in the quantity. There is NO MINIMUM Order.

Protect your off-grid or grid tied PV system from unexpected string faults using Mersen’s HelioProtection® fuse line
Developed specifically for the protection of PV string wiring for 1000VDC industrial rooftop and utility scale photovoltaic systems. Its robust construction makes it ideal for continuous temperature and current cycling withstand adding to system longevity. The 1000VDC rated fuse is designed for low minimum breaking capacity capabilities of 1.35 times the fuse rated current value, allows for safe circuit interruption under typical low fault current conditions produced by PV arrays.
The 10 X 38mm fuse can be used standalone with the DIN mount string fuse holder to fuse a single circuit or as a bank of fuses in a solar combiner box.
This item fits String Fuse holder
One pole DIN rail mount fuse holder for 10 X 38 type fuses, suitable for protecting and isolating solar panel strings between the array and the charge controller input for example.
Rated to 1000VDC, 32A, accepts up to 16mm² cable. For use stand alone or for incorporation into a PV combiner Box with the 13 way bus bar and feeder terminal to take off the supply to a solar charge controller or solar inverter.
