WATER & ELECTRICITY DO MIX Solar PV + Accelera® 300 Heat Pump Water Heater
We designed our heat pump water heater to be as efficient as possible. We don't waste energy pumping DHW through the heat pump — we transfer the heat from the refrigerant via a wrap- around condenser on the tank. We rely on the heat pump to make hot water, using a single 1700 watt element only as back-up (that can even be disabled). We make an 80-gallon tank that over the course of a year is more efficient than a 50-gallon tank.
The heat pump portion of an Accelera 300 draws only 500 watts, low enough that solar photovoltaic is a viable option. Use the electric back-up element and you'll probably need grid-tie, but with a full tank of 140°F water, and a 78.6 gallon first hour rating, your daily hot water needs may be satisfied without the back-up element. Solar thermal will always remain a viable solution, but now there's another renewable energy option.
