General Energy Savings Analysis
180L Heat Pump Hot Water System vs. Standard 160L Electric Hot Water Tank
Upgrading to a 180L Heat Pump Hot Water System offers significant energy and cost savings compared to a standard 160L electric hot water tank. With a coefficient of performance (COP) of 3.8:1, the heat pump is far more efficient, using less electricity to heat the same amount of water. This analysis compares the costs of running a standard 160L tank and a 180L heat pump on a continuous tariff, as well as the additional savings when the heat pump is supplemented by excess solar energy at 80% efficiency.
System Overview
- Standard Electric Hot Water Tank:
- Tank Capacity: 160L
- Heating Element: 3.6kW
- Energy Usage: 7.44 kWh (to heat 160L from 20°C to 60°C)
- Continuous Tariff: $0.40 per kWh
- Heat Pump Hot Water System:
- Tank Capacity: 180L
- Coefficient of Performance (COP): 3.8:1
- Energy Usage: 2.75 kWh per day (to heat the tank on continuous tariff)
- Continuous Tariff: $0.40 per kWh
- Solar Efficiency: 80% (when using excess solar energy)
Energy Usage and Costs Without Solar
1. Standard 160L Electric Hot Water Tank on Continuous Tariff
- Energy Required to Heat the Tank:
- To heat the full 160L from 20°C to 60°C, the energy required is 7.44 kWh.
- Daily Cost of Heating (Continuous Tariff):
- Cost: 7.44 kWh x $0.40/kWh = $2.98/day.
- Annual Cost Without Solar:
- Total Annual Cost: $2.98/day x 365 = $1,087.70/year.
2. 180L Heat Pump Hot Water System on Continuous Tariff
- Energy Required to Heat the Tank:
- The heat pump requires 2.75 kWh per day to heat the full 180L from 20°C to 60°C.
- Daily Cost of Heating (Continuous Tariff):
- Cost: 2.75 kWh x $0.40/kWh = $1.10/day.
- Annual Cost Without Solar:
- Total Annual Cost: $1.10/day x 365 = $401.50/year.
Energy Usage and Costs with Solar
1. Heat Pump Hot Water System Using Excess Solar Energy (80% Efficiency)
- Energy Provided by Solar (80% of the Time):
- Solar Contribution: 2.75 kWh x 80% = 2.2 kWh/day.
- Cost of Using Solar Energy:
- Opportunity Cost: If the excess solar energy were exported to the grid, it would earn $0.05/kWh.
- Daily Cost of Using Solar: 2.2 kWh x $0.05/kWh = $0.11/day.
- Annual Cost of Using Solar:
- Total Annual Cost: $0.11/day x 365 = $40.15/year.
2. Using Grid Electricity When Solar Is Insufficient (20% of the Time)
- Energy Provided by Continuous Tariff (20% of the Time):
- Grid Contribution: 2.75 kWh x 20% = 0.55 kWh/day.
- Cost of Using Continuous Tariff:
- Daily Cost of Grid Usage: 0.55 kWh x $0.40/kWh = $0.22/day.
- Annual Cost of Using Continuous Tariff:
- Total Annual Cost: $0.22/day x 365 = $80.30/year.
3. Total Annual Cost with Solar for the Heat Pump System
- Total Annual Cost (Solar + Grid):
- Total: $40.15/year (solar) + $80.30/year (grid) = $120.45/year.
Net Financial Gain
- Annual Cost Without Solar for Standard Electric System (160L): $1,087.70/year.
- Annual Cost Without Solar for Heat Pump System (180L): $401.50/year.
- Annual Cost With Solar for Heat Pump System (180L): $120.45/year.
Net Savings:
- Compared to Standard Electric System (160L):
- $1,087.70/year - $120.45/year = $967.25/year in savings.
- Compared to Heat Pump on Continuous Tariff (180L):
- $401.50/year - $120.45/year = $281.05/year in savings.
Why Choose a 180L Heat Pump Hot Water System with Solar?
- Maximised Solar Utilisation: Efficiently utilise excess solar energy to heat your water, reducing reliance on grid electricity and lowering energy costs.
- Substantial Financial Savings: By using solar energy to power your heat pump, you can save up to $967.25/year compared to a standard electric system on a continuous tariff, or $281.05/year compared to running the heat pump solely on a continuous tariff.
- Energy Efficiency: With a COP of 3.8:1, heat pumps are significantly more efficient than traditional electric hot water systems, leading to lower overall energy consumption.
- Environmental Impact: Reduce your carbon footprint by making the most of renewable solar energy and improving the efficiency of your hot water system.
