When the tank of water becomes too hot where do you send the excess electricity.
Dc water heating.
One popular application for our submersible dc water heating elements is to prevent freezing in stock tanks used for livestock.
Can also be used as a solar panel dump load.
How to heat water with solar panels add an optional thermostat you can use a solar panel to make hot water or to keep water from freezing.
Use our dc element to replace the bottom and or top element so you always have hot water.
Do not use grid power as it will immediately destroy the element.
Simply wire the solar panel directly to the dc water heating element or through a thermostat to regulate the water temperature.
The following methods of heating water with solar electric modules include safety equipment to prevent the water in your system from becoming steam.
Choose from a wide variety of submersible dc water heating elements for direct connection to your batteries or solar panels.
A great diversion load for alternative energy systems.
Dc water heating with diversion load elements are typically used with either 12 24 or 48 volt systems.
Don t forget to add a thermostat.
6 inch 12 volt and 24 volt dc submersible water heater elements low voltage can be used direct with batteries solar panels hydroelectric generators as a wind turbine dump diversion load.
Connect a solar array directly to a hot water element making sure you match the maximum power point voltage with the rated voltage of the water heating element.
Other uses include livestock heaters to keep water from freezing.
Typical uses include dump loads in this application extra energy from a wind turbine or solar panels are used to heat water from excess power the systems generate.
Dc water heating.
The water heating elements in a standard tank heater are made for high voltage either 120 or 240 volts the thermostats in a standard electric water heater are not made to handle dc and will either arc and stop working or catch fire.
