I built a PV DC Semiconductor Immersion Water Heating Element! diode chain application

RESEARCH PROJECT: creating a practical and affordable alternative to immersion resistance heating elements for solar electric water heating systems, while avoiding complex MPPT tracking circuits. Although such an option isn't commercially available, I managed to build several of my own prototype semiconductor based immersion heating elements which accept direct Solar PV DC input. They do not need DC conversion and are able to perform rudimentary voltage tracking, resulting in a voltage profile similar to MPPT - but without the complexity and cost. The reason is they use something unexpected to extract heat: a diode chain or diode string. It is sometimes said "Diodes don't obey ohms law". That's because Ohms Law is actually only a Model covering standard linear resistance elements. Diodes are not resistors and thus behave very differently. After many hundreds of hours testing them, I have learned how to use their behavior to extract more heat from PV solar electric power, while avoiding complex expensive MPPT ciruits.
