Hi, we are building a new house and we are going to be using central heating and radiators with a gas boiler. We live in a remote rural place and we have to generate our own light. We have set up some solar power and generate more than what our batteries can charge and we can use during the day so generation is reduced. This is due to the difference in generation we have in summer compared to winter. So we were considering adding an electric water heater tank in series before the gas boiler, that would work only when excess solar power is available and preheat the water returning from the radiators so we could save some gas. We currently have about 6kW excess solar generation during a few hours of the day when it is not winter.
Do you think this is possible? we have never had a central heating system like this so I am not sure if this would be a problem or not.
Thanks in advanced
