kilowatt what?



Huh?, thought that was pretty obvious from the OP - 33kW per day. Or
approx 1.4kW/hr, also what the OP stated. Together with a low-loss
distribution system to the water heaters that the OP stated, gives
1.4kw/hr (33kw/day) heating to the house.


To the OP - good luck, mate. I'd look towards the higher voltage setting
(48v) to simplify distribution, then check this link for a US
distributor of a 48v, 30A (1440W) water heating element:-
