The invention relates to a solar water heating system which comprises: (a) a photovoltaic array for converting sun radiation to DC voltage; (b) a water tank which comprises a single heating element; and (c) a connection box receiving a first input from said photovoltaic array, and a second input from an AC residential supply, and outputting a combined voltage to said single heating element at the water tank, wherein said combined output voltage is a combination of one or more of- (i) a full rectified signal resulting from said AC residential supply passing through a full rectification semi-conductor element; and (ii) a DC voltage resulting from said DC voltage from the photo voltaic array passing through a unidirectional semi-conductor element. |
