Posted By: djhWe use a oil filled electric radiator like this to contribute to heating in the shoulder months.
Presuming the relay/contactor was suitably rated that should be possible. But most diverters will divert arbitrary fractions of the power and connect and disconnect frequently and arbitrarily. I can't think of many inductive devices that are designed for an intermittent supply like that.

Posted By: djhI might have misunderstood the discussion, but here I thought resistive/inductive was being used as a synonym for variable/fixed demand.
An oil-filled radiator is resistive, not inductive, isn't it?
Posted By: gravelldWhile the heating element in an oil filled rad is resistive, the electronics that drive it aren't and demand a particular draw.

Posted By: DamonHDThat dip before 8am is us using more electricity (for a short while) to make breakfast than the PV+battery can cover.No, I'm asking why are you exporting while the battery is charging - shouldn't all excess power be going into the battery and charging it faster?
Posted By: gravelldThanks! Any chance you could use colours other than red and green for the graph, I'm colour blind!
