Are you using a home built Phase Angle Controller or a ready made, off the shelf solutionhope you dont mind me saying but why pay £83 for a 1 kw immersion heater. I've found a thyristor controller for about £40 and you keep your existing 3 Kw immersion, just need a controller to run it, thats the easy bit.
Use all spare electric up to 2.5 Kw
Ray you have my email address, lets coresspond via external means.
As long as the PV system has been fitted a certain way and you can put the equipment in a "box"
(to suit your location) . Not installations have the room to mount everything. The rest is easy.

This is an interesting article which discusses this aspect http://bit.ly/m1sLDYLike a drill speed controller or light dimmer a phase angle controlled immersion is going to radiate some electrical interference, only worse because of the larger current and long cable between the immersion and fuse box. What sort of suppression is going to be needed to stop interference with say radios and TVs?
