[QUOTE="solar-forum, post: 531719, member: 35294"] But that is about twice the price of a solic 200 and I'm sure our installer would quote appropriately. Of course, if the fact that it is wireless means there will be no need for any additional cabling that might reduce the installation costs. But at the moment I'm not entirely sure I need to spend that sort of money. It would need to save quite a lot of oil through our boiler to justify the up front costs. As an aside, I'm not sure how long our immersion rod is. It is fitted at the top of the tank and looks to me as if it might only heat the top half (so enough for a shower or two) and not the whole tank. It draws 3kW and when I turn it on manually during peak periods of export it only stays on for about 15 minutes before the thermostat stops it. [/QUOTE]
