Saving up to 37% on the hot water energy use

By combining Solar PV with Mixergy’s smart hot water technology, these homes can save up to 37% on their hot water energy usage. This is made possible using Mixergy’s patented top-down heating technology, which ensures that only the required amount of water is heated.

The cylinder’s unique solar diverter also allows excess solar energy to be stored, transforming the hot water cylinder into a hot water battery. This innovative technology reduces energy wastage and enables homeowners to maximise the use of their solar power.

Mixergy is the ideal hot water solution for renewable holiday homes. Easy to fit and connect with Solar PV or any energy source, Mixergy heats water from the top down, only heating what they need. They can store their excess solar PV energy, meaning when they’re out and about on their holiday activities, they won’t be wasting energy and their hot water will be ready for them when they return.

Infrared heating provides comfort with less energy use

Ambion Heating’s exceptional quality tempered glass infrared panels increase heating efficiency by 60% when using Solar PV, delivering a comfortable home environment. Sleek in design, easy to use and fit, they are ideal for holiday homes as they provide a warm, comfortable environment very efficiently.

The Ambion system is ideal for renewable holiday homes because its unique control system uses pulsed electricity to give all-day comfort whilst saving energy. It also uses energy from the Solar PV, working with the Mixergy cylinder to make best use of this renewable energy source.
