AC•THOR 9s Hot water heating and space heating with solar power thought big
AC•THOR 9s is a 0 - 9 kW linearly controlled photovoltaic power diverter for hot water, electric heat sources and optional space heating.
Simple & efficient: AC•THOR 9s controls up to 3 electrical heat sources depending on the availability of PV energy and heat demand – for both hot water, as well as for space heating. It ensures your personal living comfort fully automatically. In a residential building that is built or renovated according to current energy standards, AC•THOR 9s replaces conventional, water-based building installations. Missing residual energy can be obtained from the public grid.
Of course, AC•THOR 9s can also be integrated into conventional, water-based systems such as buffer storages. Its flexibility leaves nothing to be desired. Thanks to the built-in touch display, it can be operated without any additional devices at any time and it is easy to install.
Advantages of AC•THOR 9s
Linear power control from 0 to 9 kW, depending on PV surplus
3 controllable outputs
For 3-phase immersion heaters with common neutral conductor
Easiest heat production in three zones 3 x 3 kW
Also combinable with heat pumps
Three-zone space heating possible
Minimum spatial requirements
A system compatible with various inverter manufacturers, battery systems and smart homes
Up to 85 % PV self-consumption without battery
AC•THOR 9s for 3-phase heating elements up to 9 kW
With the same size as the AC•THOR, the AC•THOR 9s is also capable to control 3-phase immersion heaters linearly with an output of up to 9,000 watts.
Of course, all connections in this variant are also pluggable, so the installation effort remains minimal! In this mode the use of the my-PV immersion heater 9 kW is ideal!

AC•THOR 9s also for three single-phase heating elements
The AC•THOR 9s can also be used to heat up very large storage tanks. Up to three heating elements can be controlled linearly one after the other. The advantage: Hot water is available very quickly.
If there is a surplus of more than 3,000 watts available, the elements are also controlled in combination to maximise self consumption and shorten the heating time.
In this mode the use of the my-PV immersion heater 3kW is ideal!

AC•THOR 9s for hot water and space heating
In addition to hot water heating, the AC•THOR 9s can also provide linear power control for electrical space heating in buildings, making it suitable for photovoltaics.
In addition to the control of the immersion heater, it is possible to supply two heating circuits and control them independently of each other.
AC•THOR 9s wirelessly connected to my-PV WiFi Meter, controlling two independent heating circuits for space and water heating.
AC•THOR 9s in combination with my-PV WiFi Meter
In combination with my-PV WiFi Meter, AC•THOR 9s uses excess energy from your photovoltaic system to supply electrical heat sources such as immersion heaters, electric heating mats or infrared panels linearly with power. This ensures optimal energy utilization.
AC•THOR 9s in combination with battery storage
In combination with compatible batteries, AC•THOR 9s, like AC ELWA 2, performs a hybrid storage-function. Not only the hot water, but also the building mass (like at our new company building) can be used as storage.
This way, even with larger PV systems, excess PV energy is optimally used. Optimal priority regulation between battery and heat storage is guaranteed.
AC•THOR 9s in combination with Smart Home
Thanks to its flexible control, the AC•THOR 9s also communicates with energy management systems. As an alternative to my-PV Power Meter, the excess information can also be received from these sources. Thus there are no limits with regard to integration into individual home controls. Data can be visualized in the Smart Home System.
AC•THOR 9s in combination with dynamic electricity tariffs
On days with low sunlight, the AC•THOR 9s can utilize cheaper electricity from the public grid for heating supply.
Anyone with a photovoltaic system and a dynamic electricity tariff can use the my-PV DTO to access cheap energy from the grid for heating even on cloudy days or at night when the PV system doesn't provide enough electricity. The my-PV DTO is easily activated in the my-PV Cloud and controls heating automatically – based on the lowest market electricity prices. The my-PV DTO works in combination with all IoT-capable my-PV devices.
