Solar Controller
The following are three intelligent solar water heater controllers by Demax, designed to automate and optimize solar thermal system operations. Each model is tailored to specific system types (non-pressurized, pressurized, split) and features industrial-grade components for stability in harsh environments (cold, high-temperature, humid conditions), paired with LCD displays for easy monitoring and control.
