I had a 4kw system fitted nearly 2 years ago with a Solic 200 to divert excess energy produced to emmersion heater in hot water tank and all was working great until a week or so ago.
First of all PV solar all working OK, and every morning when inverter starts for first time Solic kicks in and does its job diverting excess to immersion.
The problem is that once water in tank has reached set temp, 70c i believe it is set to, as should be power to immersion is shut off, but if you run hot water off to say fill the bath, it does not kick back in to reheat water even though Solic is showing that there is excess energy available ie 3 green lights. The only way to get it back on is to reset inverter then all work perfectly as before until 70c has been reached again then same problem.
I have replaced thermostat in water tank but no change.
Does anyone know if my problem is with inverter or Solic.
Thanks in advance.
