Not so. He wants to know if his panels will power the machine. So he

needs to know it will be sunny for the part of the cycle where it's

heating water, and not dark for the rest of it

I would have though you would be better off having econmy7 or similar

with a PV system. Then you can schedule all your heavy appliances to run

overnight on cheap rate juice, and sell all your generated power to the

grid at whatever multiple of its actual value you have managed to get.

Washers are now designed to use so little water (except for later
rinsing) that taking in water from the hot water supply will often
only get cold water (cooled down by being in the pipe to the machine
for a long time). So there's no point in spending money on parts that
don't perform a useful function.

When the heater failed in my old washing machine which had hot and
cold water feeds, I found I could get it to work by running the hot
tap on the sink next to it. Without doing that it would sit
indefinitely trying to heat the water.
