Which product do you suggest to monitor the energy production/consumption on a THREE-PHASE PV system?

We suggest Elios4you Pro, which is suitable for systems up to 50kWp. Via the free “Elios4you” App for Android / iOS devices, it is possible to visualize the production/consumption data and the energy exchanged wtih the grid. This will help you maximizing self-consumed energy from your solar PV system, thus cutting down the electricity bill.

How can I manage the electric loads for energy self-consumption with Elios4you Smart or Elios4you [Pro] Smart?

With the wireless smart accessories, available in two versions:

Smart Plug RC (wireless pass-through socket)
Smart Switch RC (wireless wall socket).

How many Smart Plugs can I manage with Elios4you Smart or Elios4you [Pro] Smart?

Max 4. Elios4you in the Smart version, both single-phase and three-phase, can manage up to 4 wireless smart Smart Plug RC and/or Smart Switch RC.

I have an ADSL internet connection. Is it possible to monitor the solar PV system using the “Elios4you” App from remote?

No. The data are available on your PC only accessing our portal www.4-cloud.org.

Can I divert and store the surplus solar PV energy to an electric heater/immersion tank?

To divert and store the surplus energy to an electric heater / immersion tank, the best solution is Power Reducer. This device adjusts the resistance consumption in the boiler depending on the surplus energy generated by the system. Therefore, it is possible to dramatically reduce the energy fed to the grid using the surplus power […]

Which is the best product for monitoring the energy production and consumption of a SINGLE-PHASE solar PV system?

The solution we suggest for single-phase systems is Elios4you for systems up to 6kWp. With the free “Elios4you” App for Android/iOS devices, it is possible to visualize data of production / consumption and the energy exchanged with the grid. This will allow you to maximize self-consumption from your solar PV system, and to cut down your […]

How can I automatically divert the surplus energy to a water heater/storage tank with Elios4you?

There are possibilities:

Use the the Elios4you on-board relay. The smart switching ON/OFF are directly programmed from the App, depending on the available surplus energy and on configurable threshold / delay. It will be also possible to manage the switching on of the boiler in case there is no immediate energetic availability, to always keep hot […]

Is “Elios4you” App available also for Windows Phone?

No. The “Elios4you” App is available only for smartphone and tablet with Android / iOS operating system. The App is FOR FREE.

Which is the function of the 4-cloud portal?
