Hi.
An array of solar panels on a roof can vary its power delivery by the amount of insolation, angle of incidence, cleanliness, temperature...
Can MPPT equipment be applied to manage a fixed load from the above variables ?
Example : The purpose is only to electrically solar heating water in a domestic 3KW 230V water heater as load. When shady or fully insolated; the amount of power differs.
If at a moment of poor sun light the panel array produces 200 Volts and 4 Amperes, the internal resistance of the heating element will be limited to perform. At full sun, if the production is 230Volts and 13 Amperes, the set performs very well.
Or what kind of equipment would be convenient to match the resistances of panels and load for a given generation maximum power transfer ? When generation is say 1KW; to present a 1KW load.
