The is an initial attraction to the idea that an air source heat pump driven
by PV electricity could be a neater solution for heating a heat store than
solar water heating panels.
Which

seem to prevaricate a lot, but afen't to keen when retrofitting.
A capitalist money grabbing pig who is also a mate has a good sized PV array
which is generating well, and he is being offered an air source heat pump to
go with it.
Presumably the idea is to use the PV leccy to heat water, and using a heat
pump gets more heat per unit of electricity than feeding it directly into an
immersion heater.
How much more efficient it is, of course, is the Łk question.
Not much good at the moment with no sun and the temperature below 5C.
