Hi, I’m trying to model a heating system where I want the entire electricity production of the PV panel to be used to heat water (WaterHeater:Mixed). However I can’t figure out how to do it. Does anyone know? Thanks! <3

in the ElectricLoadCenter:Distribution block you can specify how the pv electricity is used for the !- Generator Operation Scheme Type

There are many different operation schemes but neither of them allows me to put the entire PV production into one component while not using grid electricity…
