Using residual solar electricity to heat a common 240v oil radiator.
Just don’t use the power switch on it while it is plugged into the panels or it will likely arc and could start a fire (turn power switch on, and leave it on only with thermostat set all the way high, while input power is applied to it, or bypass the thermostat and power switch circuit, so it can’t ever break the circuit (due to arc/fire hazard)…

Design:
- Make a plug socket adaptor to Andersons and M?
- Attach DC circuit breaker for cable rating, circa X amps.
- connect 200W solar panel via PWM to old radiator.
- connect 200W solar panel directly to old radiator heater.
