Use this guide as a starting point. Equipment, wiring and supply configuration determine suitability; this is not an installation approval.

With or without battery
Battery not required
What type of hot water system do you have?
Electric Storage
Potentially suitable with a compatible resistive element. Confirm element rating, thermostat, wiring and supply configuration.
Gas Storage
Powerdiverter cannot divert solar electricity into a gas burner. Any change of hot-water system needs a separate assessment and quote.
Heat Pump
Do not assume variable solar diversion is suitable. Ask about equipment-specific scheduled control where supported.
Solar Thermal
A compatible electric boost element and suitable control arrangement may allow diversion. Confirm your system first.
Not Sure
Contact us with your hot-water model and installation details.
Choose the supply type for assessment, then review the product configurations.
Single Phase
Single-phase configuration available for review in the product catalogue. Exact contents and availability require confirmation.
Dual Phase
Enquiry only while replacement pricing and configuration are confirmed. Not assumed to match three-phase.
3 Phase
Three-phase hardware proposal available in the catalogue. Confirm phase sensing, metering and element configuration.
Not Sure
Your licensed electrician can confirm the supply configuration. Do not open or remove switchboard covers.
Changing hot-water technology needs a separate assessment of equipment, plumbing, electrical work, running costs and tariffs. A replacement tank and installation are not included in Powerdiverter hardware pricing. Ask for a site-specific quote rather than assuming a saving.
Send us a photo of your switchboard and hot water system and we'll tell you exactly what you need.
