Chris,

Yes this looks the way I should be going, it makes more sense to have the excess energy used usefully rather than dumped over air heating resistors.
What ssr are you using for switching the heating element?   I have a Crydom d2450-10 , the docs say its a random on ac relay as opposed to a zero crossover type,  I hope this will work ok withe the aux2 pwm tickling it  :)

I took a picture of it for you.  Hopefully you can read what it says on it.  It is on right now because the wind turbines are going quite strong and low loads on in the house so it is heating water.  It is a zero cross type.

I bought it at Amazon.com
