Additional Benefits
– Energy Storage Alternative: Using our heat pump is akin to installing a 5 kWh battery (with 90% Depth of Discharge).
– Zero Export Solution: For customers with zero export tariffs, our heat pump helps maximize electricity usage through home electrification.
Substantial cost savings and energy efficiency
Substantial cost savings and energy efficiency of our 268L Heat Pump.
– Big benefits of using the heat pump as an alternative to battery storage.
– Optimizing the heating schedule to coincide with peak solar PV output times.
– Promotes environmental benefits of reducing reliance on traditional heating methods.
Energy Consumption
Our 268L Heat Pump consumes 4.5 kWh of solar energy per day when the timer is set to operate between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. This period aligns with peak solar PV output, which is typically when excess energy is exported to the grid. Here are the detailed calculations and benefits:
1. Energy Requirement:
– To heat the entire 268L tank from 10°C to 60°C:
Energy = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
268 L × 4.2 kJ/kg°C × 50°C = 56.28 MJ
– Converting to kWh:
56.28 MJ / 3.6 = 15.63 kWh
– Cost to heat up the tank normally:
15.63 kWh × $0.25/kWh = $3.91
– Considering the heat pump’s efficiency (350%):
Effective cost = $3.91 / 3.5 ≈ $1.10 per day
2. Usage and Efficiency:
– A typical household with 6 people might use one tank of hot water per day, equating to approximately 10 minutes of shower time per person. 9 liter per minutes at 40 degrees.
– Traditional gas or electrical resistance water heaters operate at around 70% efficiency, making them significantly less efficient than our heat pump.
15.63 kWh / 0.7 = 22.33 kWh (compared to 4.5 kWh with our heat pump)
– Cost comparison:
22.33 kWh × $0.25/kWh ≈ $5.58 per day
– Annual savings estimate (considering a year-round usage scenario):
($5.58 – $1.10) × 365 ≈ $1,633 savings per year
– Adjusting for seasonal variation in Victoria:
Estimated savings ≈ $800 per year
