What is the difference between kw and kva on a 1000w panel heater?

KW is a measure of real power (kilo watts) used. Real power is the power disippated / transformed into heat (in your instance). KVA (kilo volt amperes) is a measure of the vector total of real power and reactive power used. Reactive power is power that is stored and released be certain electrical elements such as capacitors and inductors. A heater inherently has a certain amount of inductance due to the heating wire used, which appears as an inductor to the 60Hz AC voltage applied to it. KW is a useful term because this is how much power you are using. KVA is useful, because this defines the total current draw your heater will have, so wiring and fusing need to be sized accordingly.

What is the difference between ATS panel and AMF Panel?
ATS (automatic transfer system panel) it will transfer load from main power to emergency without operation when the power source drop below 80% or normal voltage while AMF (automatic main failure panel) this will substitute as main electricity source and reserve the generator if the main supply fail or down.

Can I connect my Gyeser brand water heater to solar panel and battery?
Yes, if your solar panel and battery system is able to provide the required power that the water heater needs (voltage, current, etc.). If it cannot do that, the water heater won't work. Whether you will also need an inverter between the solar panel and battery system and the water heater is another issue that can only be determined by checking the specification of the water heater (which will be available from any Gyeser Dealer).Note: the name of this company is Gyeser, not Geyser.

How is an electric heater hot water heater turned on?
There is a thermostat inside an accessible panel on the hot water heater. The panel is typically secured by two screws. When the temperature goes below the set level the heater turns on. You'll either see a specific temperature or just an adjustment that says hotter. Some installations have an external timer that might turn off the hot water heater between midnight and 5AM, for example.
