Heat Your Water with Solar
An Eddi diverter redirects surplus electricity from your solar PV system to heat your water, rather than exporting it back to the grid. This means more of your energy is used at home, increasing efficiency and reducing bills.
- Works alongside your immersion heater to give gradual, consistent heating
- Optimises self-consumption of solar energy
- Simple interface and optional app for remote monitoring
- Helps reduce reliance on traditional gas or electric water heating
With an Eddi installed, you’re making the most of every unit of electricity your solar panels generate.

What Our Customers Say
start solar were excellent at guiding us through all the options we had when it came to adding solar and a battery to our house. From the initial phone chat with Suzie, to our assessment with Andrew, we were confident we had picked the right business to work with.
I was particularly keen to ensure that the installation was neat and fitted in well with the existing design of the house, which is where Damien and the install team did such an excellent job. I’ve been so happy the whole process – we have not imported any electricity from the grid since the install one month ago (in fact we are now exporting!).
Would highly recommend.
Decided to investigate solar power . Looked at a few providers but settled on Start Solar. They set very clear expectations on what to expect from solar energy and were very competitive if not the best quote. Great communication throughout the process and installation was within 2 weeks of order. I’m not underestimating the work involved on the installation day but it felt simple and hassle free. No mess no upheaval no fuss.
The installation team were friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to explain how it would work they also set up the app for both the main system and EV charger and explained how to use it. I’m a few days in to the system and I have no doubt that Solar is the way to go.
Thanks to Andy and the team. Great experience and product.
start solar have been a pleasure to deal with from the initial enquiry to the installation of our PV setup they have been professional, prompt and pleasant. Despite my initial scepticism that the installation would only take a day – the team arrived within 5 minutes of the advised time, had the panels mounted on the roof by lunchtime and the system up and running by 4pm!
No hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team if you are looking at solar PV.
Brilliant service from start to finish. The whole solar panel, battery and converter were explained well. Everything was placed and fitted with minimal disruption to me. These guys know their stuff and just got on with it from the starting block to the finish line. I knew the basics about going solar but since being fitted I have learned so much more. It is definitely worth it, hassle-free and financially rewarding on your fuel bill – always a bonus.
Got the solar PV system in (14 panels, 5kW battery, 3.6kW inverter and Eddi water heater) just about 1 week and we’re really pleased with the results. Thus far our draw from the grid is mostly zero and it’s been relatively cloudy too. Installation went really smoothly, was a neat tidy job, and the installers and office folks couldn’t have been more helpful. Calculated payback for the system is ~3.5 years, but with 25+ years warranty on the panels and 12 years on the battery at that point it’s a long period of free energy and is frankly, a total no-brainer! That’s especially true as we have a plug-in hybrid vehicle also so great savings there too! Can’t recommend enough!
We were struggling and on the verge of closing because of massive energy costs. It felt like every penny we made was going right out the door on bills. Three or four weeks ago, we were on the edge. I remember telling our predicament to the elderly ladies that we host at our Bingo night and they were so upset over the possibility of a closure, they didn’t know where else to go. I knew there wasn’t another option we had to work hard to get ourselves back up.
