A heat pump hot water system stores energy as hot water. When controls and household demand allow, operating during solar production can increase direct use of rooftop generation.
Start with hot water demand
Tank size and recovery must still meet morning, evening and peak household use. An aggressive daytime-only schedule may not suit every family.
Check controls and tariffs
Timers, smart controls, controlled-load tariffs and solar surplus strategies vary by unit and electrical arrangement.
Allow for battery priorities
Heating water and charging a battery at the same time can compete for solar surplus. The system should be scheduled around the customer’s priorities.
Review the installation scope
Location, airflow, drainage, pipework, noise, electrical supply and removal of the old unit need to be included.
