Name: Solic Solic 200
Brand: Solic

Question 1

How much does the Solic Solic 200 cost in Ireland and what is the payback period?

Accepted Answer

The Solic Solic 200 is available in Ireland for approximately €120 (Includes 100A CT clamp). Available via Irish solar wholesalers and electrical distributors. For a typical Irish home with a 4kWp solar system, a solar diverter typically pays back within 10–18 months. Surplus solar that would be exported at the Clean Export Guarantee rate of €0.12–0.19/kWh is instead used for hot water — effectively saving €0.30–0.35/kWh (your avoided grid import rate). For a 4kWp system diverting ~1,400 kWh/year to the immersion, annual hot water savings are €420–490.

Question 2

Where can I buy the Solic Solic 200 in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Available via Irish solar wholesalers and electrical distributors. Always confirm the installer is familiar with the Solic product and can provide full commissioning and after-sales support in Ireland.

Question 3

Will the Solic Solic 200 work with my existing Irish hot water cylinder?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Solic Solic 200 works with any standard Irish hot water cylinder with an immersion heater element, regardless of whether it uses a 1kW, 2kW or 3kW element. It is compatible with all common Irish cylinder types — copper indirect cylinders, stainless steel cylinders, and thermal store cylinders — provided they have a standard 1¾" BSP immersion boss. If you have a combi boiler with no separate cylinder, a solar diverter is not applicable — you would need a hot water cylinder installed first. See the Hot Water Cylinder Directory →

Question 4

Does the Solic Solic 200 work with all solar inverter brands in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Solic Solic 200 uses a CT (current transformer) clamp sensor to detect surplus solar export and does not need to communicate with your inverter. It works with every inverter brand installed in Ireland — Huawei, Fronius, SolarEdge, Sungrow, SMA, Growatt, GoodWe and all others. There is no inverter compatibility concern; the diverter reads the electrical signal on your supply cable directly.

Question 5

Is the Solic 200 worth it compared to the more expensive Eddi or iBoost+?

Accepted Answer

If your primary goal is free hot water from surplus solar with no frills, the Solic 200 at €120 delivers essentially the same core benefit as the Eddi (€260) or iBoost+ (€225). The extra cost of those products buys you app control, a display unit, scheduling capability and — for the Eddi — ecosystem integration with Zappi and the Hub. If you don't need those features, the Solic 200 provides the same fundamental diversion function for half the price, with the fastest payback period of the three.

Question 6

Can an electrician install the Solic 200 rather than a solar installer?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Solic 200 is electrically straightforward and can be installed by any qualified RECI or ECSSA-registered electrician in Ireland, not just a specialist solar installer. It connects to your immersion heater supply and uses a CT clamp on the main incoming supply cable to detect surplus. Most Irish electricians are familiar with the Solic 200 and can install it in under an hour.

Question 7

How does smart energy management work alongside a heat pump in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

Smart energy management and heat pumps are complementary parts of the same home energy system. A heat pump heats your home and hot water; a HEMS controller (myenergi Hub, Huawei FusionHome or GivHub) decides when it runs based on solar generation, battery state and electricity tariff — reducing running costs by 15–30%. A smart thermostat (Tado V3+, Honeywell T6R) adds geofencing and room scheduling on top. The complete system flow: ☀️ solar panels generate electricity → ⚡ inverter converts it → 🔋 battery stores surplus → 🧠 HEMS schedules the heat pump → 🌡️ heat pump heats the home → 💧 hot water cylinder stores the heat. On a smart tariff the HEMS can also charge the battery at night rate (€0.08–0.12/kWh) to power the heat pump at off-peak hours rather than expensive peak rate — a significant additional saving on top of solar self-consumption. See the Heat Pump Directory →

Question 8

What is the fastest way to reduce my electricity bill in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

The fastest wins in order of payback speed: (1) a solar diverter (€120–260, payback 10–18 months for any Irish home with solar panels), (2) a smart thermostat (€120–160, payback 4–6 months from heating savings), (3) an energy monitor (€35–95, often pays back from a single behavioural change identified). Together these three products can be installed for €300–500 and generate combined annual savings of €600–900 in a typical Irish home.

Question 9

Can I get an SEAI grant for smart energy management products?

Accepted Answer

The SEAI Solar PV Home Grant (up to €1,800) covers the whole solar installation cost — panels, inverter, mounting and labour. Smart energy products like diverters and HEMS controllers are not separately grant-eligible, but they can be included in a solar system quote and the grant applied to the combined installation. Smart thermostats — Tado V3+ and Honeywell T6R — are SEAI registered products, which can be included in wider home energy upgrade grant applications. See seai.ie for current grant conditions.
