Once you have completed the aforementioned steps, access the app with your user name and keyword, and complete the following
steps:
-
Access section "Heating" from the bottom menu.
-
Select and access the appliance you want to set.
-
Select the option "Setup" from the bottom menu

Solar Energy settings. Surplus Utilization
When switching on the Solar Energy function, the setting options will be automatically displayed. Set them according to your needs.
These are the setting options available:
-
Charge settings:
Solar Alone. Ecombi Solar will only consume and store energy when there are photovoltaic surpluses.
o
Solar and Off-peak. Ecombi Solar will charge and store energy whenever there is surplus. In addition, it will also
o
charge during the Off-peak period. You can set the off-peak maximum charge (%) using the corresponding option.
Solar and Grid Adjustment. Ecombi Solar will charge and store energy whenever there is surplus. It will also
o
charge during the Off-peak period. You can also set the off-peak maximum charge (%) using the corresponding
option. In addition, this setting mode offers some other functions
▪
▪
-
Solar Power Activation:
Indicates the percentage of solar Energy required to active the next power level (%).100% by default
o
-
Off-peak maximum charge
Maximum charge level during the off-peak period (%). 80% by default
o
-
Ambient temperature over heating protection.
This protection will stop the solar PV charging when the ambient temperature reaches set-point temperature
o
plus ambient temperature over heating protection. Default 3ºC.
-
Solar priority:
Solar PV charging priority. Devices with high priority will charge first in relation to low priority storage heaters
o
when there is PV Solar extra energy.
The storage heater can connect the balance heating element to provide immediate heat when the
ambient temperature is lower than the setting temperature.
The appliance will self-regulate the charge level during the off-peak period according to the temperature
records in precedent days.
