Just curious if anyone knows. Truly.
Im almost certain it would not be worth it @ 13 cents kWh but ... maybe someone knows something.
What if I wanted a limited amount of solar panels on one south facing side of my house to just ONLY assist my heat pump operating costs.
House is almost finished and will be moving in a few weeks, barring any delays.
Heat Pump I am guessing is 3 to 3.5 Tons. I'll know more after the coming weekend but I am certain it must be around that number..
Does anyone have any clue how many panels would be needed, costs involved.
If I understand correctly there would be no government tax credit unless I did something more extensive?
This is just a hair brain thought of mine only if for some "out there" reason this would cost next to nothing to have done. Other than that I dont have interest, I dont know if I would be in the home long enough for a payback, I am talking about a very limited system, almost for the fun of knowing on hot sunny or cold sunny days the Heat Pump will be getting some assistance from the solar panel. Nothing more than that.
