One week in and our new heat pump is making a big difference. We’re using ~70% less energy to achieve the same water heating result

Overall it means daily demand on our system has dropped ~20%

This reduced demand means our batteries are able to keep us off grid most of the time, even on generally sub-optimal days with long spells of low cloud

Sadly governments across the globe still don’t see the potential of these practical solutions
