Hi all, im abit lost and need some advice. I'm a Newbie when it comes to this topics. 
 

my system consist of: 5kva hybrid RCT inverter, 10x 550w pv, separated 5 north, 5 west, 2 X Hubble 5.5kw am2 batteries. 
 

I also have the Elon system which has 2 X 545w pv panels, however I have changed my element to a 2kw element and I added a CBI astute smart switch. 
 

im playing around with the CBI switch and Elon timer to get the best possible times I require the water to be heated. early morning and mid/late afternoon. 

I'm getting hot water some days and then not on the other. I called kwikhot, spoke to their Elon guy. He said that I am confusing the timer, and that's the reason I'm getting minimal joy. 

He did however say that Elon is coming out with a smart water thermostat, which will basically be similar to the geyserwise however it will be via an app. So no control box in ur home. the product will be launched in may. 
 

my question is as follows: should I leave the Elon system to heat my geyser, just add 2 more 545w panels which totals 4x545w

or is my pv system "good enough" to move my geyser on to it? 

any expert help will be greatly appreciated.
