Hi Westend,
Great idea!
My water heater cycles once every four hours for 15 minutes once it has reached full temperature. When the battery bank is full, I do deliberately turn on the heater to continue to harvest solar. I also run it on electric when driving down the road.
I find, that the water, after sitting all night is still warm enough for hand washing in the morning.

I was thinking of using the diversion load to heat the water in my fresh water tank (I have a steel tank installed inside). The heated water in the Winter would be passively heating the interior.
