The electrical installation also entails specific electrical requirements and associated pipe work to ensure safe and effective operation.

Indoor Installation Benefits

Indoor installation comes with its own set of benefits. By placing the heat pump indoors, you’re protecting it from harsh weather conditions, which can help to extend the lifespan of the unit. Thanks to its encased compressor design, the heat pump operates quietly, an added advantage of indoor installation. The compressor and fan noise of the heat pump is reduced in compliance with European Standard EN12102, thanks to the encased design.

Solar PV System Compatibility

Elevating energy efficiency through heat pump technology, the WWK222H heat pump offers the following features:

Compatible with a solar PV system, transforming it into a thermal battery and further boosting energy efficiency
Can be integrated into smart systems by networking with solar PV systems and energy management tools
Optimizes the use of solar power generated on-site

Even better, customers installing new solar PV systems or upgrading existing ones can benefit from the Solar Homes Program in Victoria, which provides rebates, loans, and interest-free battery loans, making it an Australian conditions market leader.

Connection Process

To maximize the benefits of solar PV system compatibility, the connection process must be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and optimal performance. An Energy Management System (EMS) can predict solar PV generation, which helps to intelligently allocate energy to appliances like the heat pump. The EMS optimizes energy usage by managing the operation of appliances, giving priority to the heat pump and postponing others to maximize the use of generated solar power.

The EMS learns the energy usage patterns of the household over time and improves the allocation of energy from solar PV, further minimizing the heat pump’s running costs.

Potential Savings

Connecting the heat pump with a solar PV system can result in significant savings. Here are some benefits of connecting the heat pump to a solar PV system:

Optimized timing for heating water and increased utilization of solar energy, reducing grid consumption
Cost-efficient heating and cooling, with savings up to 74% on hot water energy use compared to conventional electric water heaters
Environmental benefits, as it reduces reliance on fossil fuels and decreases carbon emissions

By connecting your heat pump to a solar PV system, you can enjoy both financial and environmental advantages.

This integration significantly lowers a building’s carbon footprint, with reported reductions in CO2 emissions by 64% from 5.4 tons to under 2.0 tons per year.
