my-PV AC-THOR PV Power Manager up to 3kW for hot water

The AC-THOR from my-PV (MPN: 20-0100) is a continuously variable PV power manager with a power range of 0–3 kW. It is designed to efficiently control hot water, electric heat sources, and heating systems, regulating them based on the availability of PV energy and your heating needs. It automatically ensures a comfortable living environment, whether for hot water or heated rooms. In modern or renovated homes, the AC-THOR can replace conventional heating systems or be integrated into existing setups, such as buffer storage tanks. Any energy shortfall is covered by the power grid. Thanks to its touchscreen display, it’s easy to operate at any time and a breeze to install. The my-PV Cloud is available to help you keep track of everything and respond as needed. In off-grid applications, the AC-THOR can operate in frequency mode. It’s compatible with leading brands such as Victron Energy, Growatt, Huawei, Studer, and SMA.

The AC-THOR Takes Center Stage

• Continuously variable control from 0–3 kW, depending on PV surplus
• Frequency mode for off-grid applications
• 30% cost savings compared to conventional systems
• Open system architecture for battery systems, inverters, and smart homes
• Up to 85% PV self-consumption—even without battery storage
• Everything at a glance—thanks to my-PV Cloud
• Integrated touchscreen

Better than conventional heat generators

For PV systems with capacities ranging from 5 to 10 kWp, the AC-THOR achieves annual performance factors that are significantly higher than typical values. This makes electric space heating economically attractive. It uses cables instead of pipes and electricity instead of hydraulic systems, while remaining simple and straightforward. Unlike heat pumps, you can significantly influence investment and operating costs by sizing your PV system. Savings of up to 30% are easily achievable.

Versatile Applications

• Pure photovoltaic water heating
• Can be combined with a wide variety of battery storage systems
• Extremely simple stratified charging
• Continuously adjustable up to 6 kW
• Hot water and heating in one
• Combines underfloor heating and infrared heating
• Standard heat pump becomes PV-compatible
• Can also be used as a dump-load controller in an off-grid system

Various operating modes in different combinations

...with WiFi Meter
With the my-PV WiFi Meter, the AC•THOR efficiently uses excess energy from your PV system for electric heating devices such as heating elements, heating mats, or infrared panels. This increases your self-consumption and ensures that the energy is used optimally.

...with battery storage
When combined with compatible battery storage systems, it functions as a hybrid storage system, just like the AC ELWA 2. It stores excess PV energy not only in hot water but also in the building’s mass. This ensures that excess PV output is used optimally, even in larger systems. The priority between battery and thermal storage is perfectly regulated.

...with Smart Home
The Power Manager is flexible in its application and, thanks to its open-system control, also communicates with various energy management systems. In addition to the my-PV WiFi Meter, it can thus also receive surplus energy data from other sources. This enables seamless integration into custom home automation systems. The data can be visualized in the smart home system.

my-PV Cloud

With the my-PV Cloud, you can keep an eye on your cost-effective heat generation at any time—in real time. The live view shows you the current output, the daily energy collected, and the history of temperature and charging power. Your customizable dashboard offers quick and clear access to all important information. Remote adjustments are also possible at any time.
