[QUOTE="Ucatchmydrift, post: 538299, member: 35106"] Thanks 👍. Its not grid tied no, i have a hybrid inv with 14.4kw diy storage, and only have grid supply to the inv at economy 7 times via a contactor via a wifi smart plug. So really need an element of about 2.2kw max just to keep the strain off the inverter. Im guessing if i were to do the diode trick and over spec the diode say 25-50% it wont get hot, with any luck, and all should be good. Only issue will be if i were to suddenly need hot water for a shower etc, id have to wait about 1.5- 2hrs using just 1.5kw. Which would be fine normaly on a timer, just a bit slow if wanting hot water at an unusual time. This is all simply to get around using the 8kw power shower! - thats the last thing im actually running off the grid now. [/QUOTE]
