Priwatt

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Priwatt operation manual provides guidance on using the Priwatt system, which integrates with KACO new energy inverters to optimize the use of self-generated solar energy for household appliances. This system is designed to enhance energy independence and reduce reliance on grid electricity.

Key Features:

Priwatt is pre-installed in KACO inverters up to 50 kVA and offers a cost-effective alternative to smart-home solutions.
It allows systematic operation of household appliances using solar energy through configurable settings on the inverter display.

Configuration Options:

Activation Mode: Choose how often an appliance should be switched on (once a day, continuously, or just once).
Monitoring Time: Set the duration (1 to 60 minutes) for which solar power must be available before activating an appliance.
Power Threshold: Determine the power needed to start an appliance, adjustable from 100 watts to the inverter's full output in 10-watt increments.
Operating Mode: Select based on output or duration, with time-dependent mode for appliances requiring a minimum run-time.
Operating Time: For time-dependent mode, set the appliance's operating duration (1 to 600 minutes).

Usage Tips:

Add the local base load to the power threshold to maximize solar power usage across all household appliances.
An override switch allows reverting to grid power operation at any time.

Example Application: To heat a hot water boiler, set the activation mode to continuous, monitoring time to 1 minute, and operating mode to output-dependent. Set the power threshold to 2,400 W (2,000 W for the boiler and 400 W for local base load).

Recommended Applications:

Heating pumps
Hot water tanks
Pool filtering systems
Air-conditioning
Irrigation systems

Good for the wallet. Good for the energy turnaround. Good for the environment. Protable own power consumption of PV electricity with Priwatt. Tip: Add the local base load to the power threshold of the household appliances that you want to switch on with Priwatt. In this way you also use your solar power to operate the rest of the appliances in the home as long as Priwatt is activated. You can thereby reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the grid together with the related costs. Example: If you want to use Priwatt to heat your hot water boiler, use the following settings in the inverter...
