Hi there!
I have 3.8kw worth of panels ( 10x 380w 48v) and my house has central heating system powered by wood burning stove.
Is it possible to install for example 2x 1500w 48v dc immersible heaters into the tank and directly connect them to the panels for a little extra heat and maybe reduce the amount of wood needed to burn? Is this kind of system safe? Another option would be connecting the panels such that the output voltage is 240v and then getting 240vdc immersible heaters.. is there some difference? Can AC water heaters work with DC volatge from panels ?
Any advice and suggestions are welcome or just tell me is a bad idea
Thanks in advance!
