Nabertherm Goes Solar

Have you already invested in a photovoltaic system as your contribution to sustainable energy generation and would like to use this energy to operate your kiln? Every controller in the 500 series can be switched to “Solar Mode” and utilize electricity from photovoltaic systems with and without a battery. A specially tuned control response ensures that the delayed switchover times of solar storage systems are taken into account in the control system. As opposed to other solutions on the market, in solar mode, our controllers work with two switching points, which reduces temperature overshoots. This produces more uniform and improved firing results, especially with hold times. The "Solar Mode" can be set so that the oscillation behavior of the controller for heating ramps and hold times is considered separately. This ensures the best possible balance between short heating times and precise temperature control in the hold range. 

Solar mode can be activated on all 500 series controllers and can be used for all electrically heated kilns.
