Water heating elements work by converting electrical energy into heat energy to warm up water. When a water heating element is designed to work with both (PV-DC) and AC systems simultaneously, it offers a versatile and efficient way to heat water using solar power and grid electricity interchangeably.
In this setup, the heating element is connected to both the (PV-DC) system, which generates electricity from solar panels, and the AC system, which provides electricity from the grid. This allows the heating element to utilize the available power sources based on factors such as sunlight availability, energy demand, and cost-effectiveness. During sunny periods when the (PV-DC) system generates sufficient electricity, the heating element primarily uses solar power to heat the water. If the solar power is insufficient or during nighttime or cloudy days, the heating element seamlessly switches to the AC system to ensure continuous water heating. This dual-operation capability not only maximizes the use of renewable energy from solar panels but also provides a reliable backup from the grid when needed. It offers a sustainable and flexible solution for heating water while optimizing energy efficiency and cost savings. |
