[QUOTE="fourtytwo, post: 526743, member: 34950"] I use PV to heat water with a DIY direct converter so the hot water has priority over anything else. As [USER=34792]@Berserkerboy[/USER] says you don't get a full tank as the immersion tends to be in the top only (I don't know how long my element is but the thermostat is 11"). The reason I went that way instead of PV-water was cost and simplicity, I could use the existing hot water cylinder and there were no pumps etc required. Also having done my own roof PV install that was hard enough, I certainly would not fancy wielding larger & heavier ? water tubes etc up there! [/QUOTE]
