<div dir="ltr">I have an interesting question I haven't run into
before, using existing equipment, some in place, some just
waiting for an install.
<div>Has anyone here ever done an MPPT PV-direct install to DC
air heaters? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Advanced Energy used to have a PV-direct MPPT water heating
controller, but the residential division of their company no
longer exists. We are looking at 1200-1500 watts of PV.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How would one program a Midnite Classic (for example) to
most efficiently connect PV to DC heating elements without a
battery bank/diversion load setup, whether for water or air?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This one's new to me; I've never tried PV direct heating
before.</div>

<div>Thanks in advance for any input.</div>
