Hey Larry, IIRC you heat water with excess solar power, right? I
noticed this 120V 2000W element while looking for something else. It
has a lower resistance for its power and may be a better match to
solar panels than 240V elements.

I'm going with straight battery voltage for a 24v 900w element while
the sun shines, then letting the 240v 3500w pick up any difference 1
hour a day at 3am.

When I can afford to upgrade to 3-5kw of solar, I may go with a 240v +
120v inverter and an auto breaker switch.


Larry..are you inroute?
