Simply wire the solar panel directly to the dc water heating element or through a thermostat to regulate the water temperature.
Dc water heater element solar.
Dc water heating with diversion load elements are typically used with either 12 24 or 48 volt systems.
Great for rvs heating stock tanks or converting your ac water heater.
Choose from a wide variety of submersible dc water heating elements for direct connection to your batteries or solar panels.
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.
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.
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.
Can be used direct with batteries solar panels hydroelectric generators and as a wind turbine dump diversion load also solar panel dump load with most of our charge controllers with or without a diversion load already installed.
Dc water heating elements are much safer than 110 volt 9 inch overall length with 6 inch element.
One popular application for our submersible dc water heating elements is to prevent freezing in stock tanks used for livestock.
Don t forget to add a thermostat.
Dc water heating.
Water overheat and freeze thermostats for dc water heating.
The first option is our 35 degree f freeze thermostat which keeps water and other liquids from freezing it turns on your element before the liquid freezes at 35 degrees f closes the circuit and turns it.
Use these thermostats with our dc water heating elements if you need to regulate the temperature of the liquid you are 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.
Low voltage dc water heater immersion elements from 27 99 that can be powered using solar wind or battery they can be directly connected to a solar panel with a similiar wattage to the element or powered by batteries or used as a dump load for a wind turbine we supply these dc immersion elements in various voltages ranging from 12v to 48v with the falling cost of solar panels these are now.
Do not use grid power as it will immediately destroy the element.
