This looks like a board I could use on my brand new GE hotwater tank..
It should handle my 144Vdc 800W array just fine.. Maybe need a larger heat sink..?.
The guy that makes them said
"The main mosfet is 40A at 1200V and the board traces can handle 20A"..
You would need a 5 KW PV array to fully test his spec!
If I was able to average just 400 watts for 4 or 5 hours a day, that would put 1,364 BTU into my tank each hour.
In the summer time, It would do a lot better.
Pretty sure that would keep the A7 from coming on as much..
I'm going to see if I can get the builder to register here, so he can
answer some questions about the product.
