Using low-voltage water heating elements as a diversion load.
Has anyone tried retrofitting a 120/240 VAC hot water tank with a DC element? I'm re-designing my solar system and adding a wind generator. Rather than shunting excess I think a better diversion would be heating water. Just curious if anyone else has tried it..
