The internal resistance of the SSR will be in parallel with the 13 ohm heater.
I would have to use a very low (1 ohm?) resistance to keep the 13 ohms from adding more heat.
The max current of the PV is self-limiting at 8 Amps. (due to a weak sun).
Too much current is never a problem with series PV arrays.
What I'm looking for is to reduce the water heating by at least 95%..
