> A pv at 25% efficiency attached to a heat pump with a COP above 4 is still above 100%... Could you name the particular brands and models of PVs you are using

Could you name the particular brands and models of PVs you are using that produce 25% in the field? 15% under ideal conditions is more typical and your 25% is above current state of the art available for home installation. Also interested in your heat pumps above 3. Are these geothermal? If not, who makes them?
Normal set up is going to be 15% max on the PV and 3 on the heatpump, for 45% max, but more typically 25% as the PV is seldom set up to capture ideally.
- benj111 8y agoI was quoting my parent on the 25% efficiency figure. "The COP for heat pumps range from 3.2 to 4.5 for air source heat pumps to 4.2 to 5.2 for ground source heat pumps" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump
