Hybrid Mini Split Heat Pumps
Hybrid Mini Splits are a new technology that can greatly reduce your cooling and heating energy and bills. These new Heat Pumps will run off your your house/grid/Utility/Inverter/battery power. And run"Directly" from Solar power, and also run directly off of PV panels to offset the electricity that you buy. These Hybrid Heat Pumps will run directly off of the PV/solar power, or grid power at night, and seamlessly merge the two energy source! They will take a PV/Solar input of up to 380 Volts DC from the panels, and also an input from your 120 or 240 VAC "house/grid/inverter/battery power". Typically one string of up to 6 or 7 250/-400 watt 60/72 cell panels may be added to power your heat pump to produce true solar heating and cooling for your home or business. Models that connect to a 48 volt battery bank are also available.
120 Volt AC space heaters typically use about 1500 Watts on high, and they are 100% efficient - which sounds really good, BUT our Heat Pumps are up to 300% efficient! 1000 Watts into the Heat Pump can produce up to 3000 Watts of Heating or Cooling! These have a SEER rating of 20 or greater. And most home central heat pumps have a SEER of down around 10 to 16 depending on the age.
