It is designed to be retrofitted to existing Mixergy X cylinders or installed alongside new cylinders without changing the tank, turning the Mixergy unit into a smart, solar‑ready hot water store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePV diverter interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides the switching interface between the Mixergy immersion and a third‑party variable‑power PV diverter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThird‑party compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with popular devices including Solar iBoost+, Solic 200, MyEnergi Eddi and most other variable‑power solar diverters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetrofit ready:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be added later to existing Mixergy X tanks without replacing the cylinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintains smart control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixergy tank remains fully smart, retaining app, scheduling and level‑sensing features while the diverter controls solar input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimised solar use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows the tank to act as a “solar battery”, storing surplus PV as hot water using Mixergy’s top‑down heating characteristics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works with External PV Diverters (FAQ Highlights)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e An existing Mixergy X tank can work with any third‑party PV diverter as long as the Mixergy PV Switch\/relay kit is installed. If the installer supplied one originally, you are ready to connect; if not, it can be added later without changing the tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction of the kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The relay\/PV Switch allows the Mixergy immersion to accept a variable power signal from the diverter. The diverter then decides how much surplus solar power is sent, while the Mixergy tank heats from the top down, giving usable hot water earlier in the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart features retained:\u003c\/strong\u003e With a diverter connected, the tank still heats efficiently, shows accurate hot water levels, follows schedules and allows Boost and app control. The diverter simply becomes the device that determines how much solar power is delivered to the immersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl limitations:\u003c\/strong\u003e When a third‑party diverter is in use, Mixergy cannot stop solar diversion at a specific percentage (e.g. 40–50% volume). The tank becomes a passive recipient of whatever excess solar the diverter sends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature targets:\u003c\/strong\u003e During solar diversion, the immersion is powered outside of Mixergy’s digital control. The diverter determines run time, and the tank relies on the immersion’s manual high‑limit thermostat rather than the app’s target temperature. To avoid overheating on sunny days, Mixergy recommend turning the high‑limit stat down one notch from 5 to 4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMain benefit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixergy can pre‑heat just enough hot water for the morning routine, leaving maximum cold volume available for free solar heating during the day. This makes the tank behave like a low‑cost solar battery, often delivering better PV utilisation than a traditional cylinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical \u0026amp; Installation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e MAS0086-01 (Mixergy Relay Switch Connection Kit \/ PV Switch).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse case:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connection of a Mixergy X direct or indirect cylinder’s immersion to an external PV diverter output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relay\/switch gear rated for immersion load as per Mixergy specification (installer must follow Mixergy wiring diagrams and diverter manufacturer’s instructions).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstaller requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Should be installed by a qualified electrician or competent installer familiar with unvented cylinder and PV diverter wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem behaviour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixergy remains the “smart tank” (sensing, scheduling, Boost), while the PV diverter becomes the “solar controller” deciding when and how much surplus energy is sent to the immersion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrating Mixergy X cylinders with existing or new PV diverters where customers want to maximise self‑consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrofit upgrades on installed Mixergy tanks to add solar diversion capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjects where the PV diverter must remain the primary PV control device but the property still benefits from Mixergy smart features and top‑down heating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mixergy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63222051864925,"sku":"MAS0086-01","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/2051\/3629\/files\/Mixergy3rdPartyPVdiverterconnectionkitMAS0086-01.webp?v=1769576915","url":"https:\/\/qualityheating.co.uk\/products\/mixergy-3rd-party-pv-diverter-connection-kit-relay-switch-for-external-pv-diverter","provider":"AIZO Quality Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
