I heat a 10 gallon tank, and then send leftovers to a 20 gallon, both 120v ~1200 watts.  Very pleased and with some insulation have hot water in the morning.   I am thinking about expanding the use to a Steffes ETS heater https://steffes.com/ets/.   The heaters are designed to pull the charging power away from the control/blower power.  In this way I would use 4 ~500 watt panels to “charge” the ETS from the cyboinverter and then need a separate 240v inverter to power the control/blower circuit.   https://steffes.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Room-Heater-240V-Rev-1.pdf   These heaters were/are very popular when/where there is significant advantages to time of day power rates.  I claim they could be great in on grid applications and supplemented with grid power with one of the models.   I like the idea of some radiative heat in the cabin throughout the evening to help keep from freezing.   Any thoughts or other users out there?   I have done a lot of work with solar thermal, and appreciate the lack of plumbing in this sort of application.
