For those of you who don't know what our setup is here is a rundown of what we have, 950Watt of solar comprising of 5 x 190Watt panel's split between 2 tracer controllers, 3 x 190w panels fed into a 45a tracer and 2 x 190w panels fed into a 40a tracer, both set's are wired parallel..
Victron 3000 Multiplus invertor and 6 x US 2200 12v deep cycle Batteries.
The washer is a Candy Grand O Plus 8kg load
Here are the reading before,during and after the wash.

1 Hour after wash completed, sun going down. |
This was a wash at 40 degree's on a 45 minute was cycle.The water temperature in the calorifier was roughly 10 degree's
my next test will be on a 60 degree wash on a 2 hour cycle, of course i shall have to wait till we have another long sunny day but i am confident it will work, and it's not even summer yet.
