NAVIGATOR 2.0
Discover the interaction between your heat pump and the photovoltaic system with the iNTELLiGENT energy manager NAVIGATOR 2.0. Maximize your self-consumption by efficiently using the PV electricity generated for heating, cooling and hot water production. Thanks to the innovative NAVIGATOR 2.0 heat pump control system, you can achieve an annual self-consumption rate of up to 70%.
The NAVIGATOR 2.0 communicates seamlessly with the inverter or energy consumption controller of your photovoltaic system. As a result, the heat pump knows exactly when self-produced electricity is available. Thanks to the integrated PV self-consumption optimization, the Navigator 2.0 controls the domestic hot water preparation, increases the heat storage tank, cools the cold storage tank and uses the building mass as energy storage.
iDM is opening a new chapter with iON. Based on weather forecasts, variable electricity prices and the historical load profile, we control your heat pump so that it achieves the best possible efficiency, makes ideal use of photovoltaic yields and minimizes your overall energy costs.

The NAVIGATOR 2.0 can also communicate with Kostal inverters. The following series are compatible: PIKO IQ/PLENTICORE/PLENTICORE Plus. Data is continuously obtained from the inverter & the heat pump can thus use its own generated PV electricity. When communicating with Kostal systems, it is important that the heat pump and the Kostal system are in the same network and that the inverter is connected to the router via Ethernet. Settings must also be configured in the Kostal system in order to use the integration.
The NAVIGATOR 2.0 enables communication with GoodWe systems. The ET/BT/EH/EHB/BH series are compatible. By continuously retrieving data from the inverter, the heat pump can use the self-generated PV electricity. Smooth communication requires that the heat pump and the GoodWe system are in the same network and that the inverter is connected to the router via Ethernet using the GoodWe dongle. To use the integration, settings must also be configured in the GoodWe system.

The Solar-Log can be used to connect the majority of PV systems with an iDM heat pump. The Solar-Log communicates via a network connection with the NAVIGATOR control 2.0. For this purpose, the SolarLogTM and the heat pump are connected to a switch, hub or router (provided by the customer). Alternatively, the Solar-LogTM and the heat pump can also be connected directly.
An inverter or energy consumption controller communicates with the NAVIGATOR control 2.0 via an S0 signal. The S0 signal (meter pulses are potential-free) is connected to the analog/pulse input of the heat pump (terminal 92/95). The heat pump uses the actual PV power or the excess current from the energy consumption controller.

To be able to operate the heat pump with PV current, the inverter must output a potential-free signal as soon as the threshold value set on the inverter by the system operator is reached. The signal from the inverter must be connected to the variable input (terminal 112/113) of the NAVIGATOR control 2.0. The setting of the threshold value always depends on the size of the PV system and the size of the heat pump.
