The heat pump uses a 315L tank. The heat pump only runs during the day, so we either have enough solar power to run it, or cheaper electricity at that time.

We have run out of hot water a few times, but with even minimal planning it's not really a problem.

We decided to get a split heat pump and tank (rather than an integrated system) as they tend to be quieter and more efficient. It's barely audible when standing next to it, and provides a great place to sit in summer.

Good to know, thanks! Renting atm so we're stuck with whatever we have for now, but I'm keeping a list of nice-to-haves when we eventually buy our own place.
