The 208v 375w panel, when hot and running at the correct voltage, would
draw 1.8A. So, how about putting 3 12v 20watt light bulbs in series
with each? The light bulbs themselves will also provide heat at nearly
perfect efficiency, and presumably the light can be productively used
somehow.

There will be 240 V across these if they blow - they may not be rated for
that. Be careful with such a set-up.
