[QUOTE="Skylar, post: 1109575, member: 17146"] I'm also about to go the GeyserWise PV route. Didn't know that Plumblink and Voltex also sell some of the components, so thanks for the heads up, Chris. I'll first install the PTC dual voltage element and measure if there really is a saving over a standard element, power consumption-wise. I have installed an energy meter on the geyser circuit recently, so that will be easy to determine. The immediate effect (before adding the solar components) I expect, is that water heating time will increase considerably due to the lower wattage of the element - 2kW vs the current 4kW for our 200 liter geyser. I already have a Geyserwise TSE (installed 6 years ago), so after the element change, the GeyserWise MPPT controller and PV panels will complete the solar geyser installation. [/QUOTE]
