I believe you would still need a battery for the Classic to work properly.

I have an interesting question I haven't run into before, using
existing equipment, some in place, some just waiting for an install.
Has anyone here ever done an MPPT PV-direct install to DC air heaters?
Advanced Energy used to have a PV-direct MPPT water heating
controller, but the residential division of their company no longer
exists. We are looking at 1200-1500 watts of PV.
How would one program a Midnite Classic (for example) to most
efficiently connect PV to DC heating elements without a battery
bank/diversion load setup, whether for water or air?
This one's new to me; I've never tried PV direct heating before.
Thanks in advance for any input.
