Comment on solar PV → heat pump → water heater; direct, no A/C or intermediate components. Practical? Feasible?

Nice point.
If all appliances had a DC mode, or even an AC+DC mode ^[smells of inefficiency, but I didn’t do the maths] by default, this would be something worth working up for.
But if you are doing it just for a single appliance, guess it’s better to just connect the Solar power output to your AC grid, the way others do.
