That is why solar hot water panels tend to be cheaper, of course if you really are looking for a cheap dump load that you get the most bang for the buck out of, running your heat pump would be a good one, that heat pump could be as simple as a window a/c unit that cools your basement in the summer, or heats or cools a tank of water as water is a great way to store energy.
