The contactor is easy to get to on most. But I don't like the idea of dedicating panels to a single appliance. (Wasted available production when it's not running)Sure, that’s the classic approach
Problem is it’s not super compatible with inverter systems, I think the contactor is buried pretty deep, and they have many power levels. Mine has 50W for blower and 1kW for minimum cooling/heating stage. So if I were to set this up I would configure a current trip threshold at say 1A, and a combination of grid tie inverter of 900W output.
