What I noticed
The Solic 200 is the value option in the solar diverter market. It does one thing — diverts surplus solar to an immersion heater — without the smart features or ecosystem that push up the cost of alternatives. For a system where all you want is to stop exporting cheap electricity and heat your water instead, it gets the job done.
Who it suits
Homeowners with straightforward solar installs (no battery, single phase) who want the lowest cost entry point for solar diversion. No hub, no app, no monthly costs.
Watch for
No smart features means no off-peak tariff scheduling, no remote monitoring, and no integration with other devices. If you add a battery or EV charger later, the Solic 200 can't adapt its strategy accordingly.
