Id like to find out if its possible to buy a few solar pv panels, and take the feed
from that direct to a storage heater or underfloor heating pad. Not plug into the grid, or even the house
electrical circuit. And not have the heater or heating coil attached to the mains either to avoid
any shocks etc. Straight from pv to dedicated electric heater.
It doesnt matter if the heat only comes in the day. Thats when I need the heat anyways.
Ive seen underfloor heating kits. And seperate pv solar panels. Can the pv panel
plug straight into the coil of the kit?
One reason I ask is that a few months ago I had seen a solar powered pv panel to underfloor heating kit
for a few hundred pounds online. Ive lost the link, but I know its possible. What Id like to do
Is buy something like that, wrap the coil in bricks and some sort of cover and get cheap heat.
Any thoughts advice etc?
For instance can the electric output from a pv panel go straight to the heating coil and
trickle feed it. and slowly heat the coil Or does it need an intermediate pulse convertor?

Possible yes, but it doesn't make sense to do things that way. Solar thermal harvests more power for much less cost.
