Thank ou all for comments, just to refocus I am not looking to install anything complicated that needs certification, maintenance, am not fixed to 4-6 panels could  put in one or two panels if that is enough to bring cold water up to 20-30.C In reflection I should have said 

does anyone have a dc immersion running off vertical panels to reduce gas consumption, is there a switch that can turn off panels if they produce too much heat energy. 

Just a quick note, as this system would not even connect to anything outside your home and makes no use of grants, I cannot see any need for notification let alone certification..

PV panels that are not supplying anything just sit there, so when the tank is warm enough, the heating element just needs to switch off. I imagine all hot water tanks have a thermostat for this.
