Hey guys!
I am thinking about going from a gas furnace to electric heating by installing an electric heat pump and a few solar panels.
I am merely interested in your opinions whether my calculations are correct.
This is what I am thinking:
1) Yearly gas use: 1200 m3
2) Yearly gas use converted to electricity: 1200 m3 * 10.55 = 12660 kWh
3) Heat pump must deliver: (yearly electricity use) / COP = 12660 kWh / 4 = 3165 kWh
4) Let's say I have 400Wp panels, so I'd need 8 panels to satisfy the demand for the heat pump.
What do you guys think?
