The article below written by scott young of catch power provides a look into the world of hot water diverters which use excess solar energy to drive the element in electric storage based water heaters hot water diverters are a great way to increase solar self consumption and are significantly more affordable albeit less versatile than battery storage at this point in time.

If the solar power diverter kicks in at 70 watts surplus pv output this would not be enough to power the immersion heater these heaters are rated at 3kw so would consume at least 3000 watts therefore the extra 2930 watts will be dragged from the grid and electricity bills would be very large.
If you turn on an appliance in your home which means you start to buy electricity from the grid it automatically turns off the immersion heater.
Even works on cloudy days.
