Quality Solar Installations

If you’ve already invested in solar panels, don’t let excess energy go to waste. With a solar diverter (or hot water diverter) you can automatically redirect surplus solar power into your electric hot water system, reducing your reliance on grid power and putting more savings back in your pocket.
At Freedom Solar we specialise in installing Australian made diverter systems like CatchPower into homes around the Central Coast including Killarney Vale, Glen Innes, Wamberal, Bateau Bay, Terrigal and beyond.
A solar diverter is an intelligent device that monitors your solar panel output and household electricity use. When generation exceeds consumption the diverter instantly catches that surplus and sends it to heat your hot water tank instead of exporting it to the grid.
It turns your hot water cylinder into a solar energy storage solution, using what would otherwise be wasted electricity for something useful.
Key advantages include:
We recommend and install CatchPower diverters because:
built for local conditions and standards
many homes offset up to 90–95% of their hot water usage under good solar conditions
choose from Green CATCH (standalone diverter) or Blue CATCH / CATCH Control (advanced internet-enabled systems)
compatible with existing solar systems and electric hot water tanks
intelligent algorithms ensure you always have hot water even during low solar periods
As feed-in tariffs continue to decline exporting excess solar energy often earns just a few cents per kilowatt hour. Installing a diverter means you’re capturing that energy value yourself instead of sending it back to the grid.
If you live in or around Killarney Vale, Glen Innes, Bateau Bay, Tumbi Umbi, Wamberal, Terrigal, Erina, Umina or Woy Woy, Freedom Solar can help you:
Payback and Savings
Because hot water accounts for a large portion of a household’s energy use, diverting surplus solar into the tank can significantly cut grid consumption. Many homeowners experience payback periods of around two to three years when combining solar with a diverter.
