Heating Water using Solar Panels

    Recently I got solar panels and want to know the best way to heat water.

    In the past I set the timer to heat water using gas at 7 am for an hour daily. With solar panels should I use boost for an hour every morning? What is the best way to set up water heating?

    I include the system I have for gas and electricity. Please ley me know if my discussion is in the correct place and I would very much appreciate support.
