Stuart James, Sales Director at Marlec, delves into three remarkable domestic products that are enabling homes to become more eco-friendly and showcase Marlec’s commitment to sustainability, cost savings, and customer satisfaction.
The Solar iBoost+ has become a household name, and for good reason. This innovative device seamlessly integrates with existing or new solar systems to divert surplus energy directly to the hot water tank. This ensures that excess solar-generated power doesn’t go back to the grid and is consumed at the property, saving homeowners money on their energy bills.
The Solar iBoost+ has gained popularity among installers and house builders as it enables homes to become more eco-friendly and complies with Part L regulations. In February 2024, the UK Government announced that energy-saving materials and energy storage devices such as Solar iBoost+ are now VAT-exempt when installed, meaning homeowners can enjoy the same tax benefits as those upgrading their homes to have rooftop solar or heat pumps. Since its launch back in 2015, Solar iBoost+ has been installed in over 150,000 and is now available in most electrical wholesalers. Whether homeowners are out during the day or at home, the iBoost ensures solar energy is utilised efficiently, reducing reliance on the grid and saving them money.
The iBoost+ Buddy in-home display is the trusted companion to the Solar iBoost+ and provides real-time insights into available surplus energy from anywhere in the home. With its eco-gauge and digital readout, homeowners can make informed decisions about when to heat their hot water tank, remotely activate the timed boosts and view the Solar iBoost+ savings.
Shifting gears to EV
The automotive industry is embracing electric vehicles (EVs) as part of a seismic shift towards cleaner transportation. With the Government’s goal of achieving zero-emission vehicles by 2035, more drivers are transitioning to EVs. However, reliable and efficient home EV chargers are essential to support this move. This is where Marlec’s UK-manufactured EV charger Veva comes in. Launched in 2023 and designed with both homeowners and installers in mind, Veva promises simple installation and useability. Its user-friendly mobile app ensures effortless charging, while installers appreciate the built-in PEN protection, easy-to-access terminals, and multipoint cable entry design, which make installation fast and straightforward. Unlike other chargers on the market, Veva has interchangeable fascias, which enable homeowners to match their chargers to their property aesthetics.
Peace of mind comes as standard with the Veva. Homeowners can use the mobile app to customise their car charging schedules to take advantage of off-peak tariff times. If they have solar panels installed, Veva is solar PV compatible, allowing guilt-free energy use and greener charging options.
