[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 521616, member: 6969"] The old style, nice and simple storage heaters could be used as a dump for excess PV, not sure if the Quantum with it's complicated controls would do that. BUT you do realise the vast majority of your surplus will be in summer when you don't need heat in the house, and in winter when you need heat in the house, the PV output will be low and little if any surplus. Dumping excess to DHW makes more sense, you always need hot water all year. 60 panels is a big array. do you have permission from the DNO? it will be near impossible to use all they generate in the summer and the smart export payment is a pittance so are you sure it is really worth having that much?
