Dan,
Isn't that what the wind guys do and call it a dump load?

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.
