Friends,
Are we confusing two distinct technologies?
Water Heater Heat Pumps are _not_ Water Source Heat Pumps.

Dan was this a mini-split? The one's I've installed (typically not for 1800sqft
house) spec AWG 14 or 12 so the full power draw on these can't be anywhere near
that. In fact, there are two or three which are PV direct i.e.:
http://www.hotspotenergy.com/solar-air-conditioner/HotSpot-ACDC12b.pdf
which looks rebranded but with a SEER of 35, it's certainly worth a look.
Gree also has one for which I don't have the tech sheet. The highest AC brand
that I know of is Fujitsu and the SEER on it is ~26.

What kind of power draw do you see on this unit? & what kind of duty cycle do
you see for 2 people or 4 people?
I amp clamped a 1800 sqft house heat pump for DHW & house heat in full power and
measured 4338 watts & have a rough time recommending heat pumps for off grid.

Water heater heat pumps make excellent sense in a garage in HOT HUMID SOUTHERN
CLIMATES and about 700 square feet of garage space is necessary AND you must
run a condensate line like an air conditioner . DO NOT PUT THEM IN CLOSETS AND
OR SMALL LAUNDRY ROOMS UNLESS YOU CAN VENT 700 square feet of unconditioned air
space to them . They are noisy , but a garage in a humid hot southern climate
is a good choice and with a time clock set for 11:00 AM to 4: 00 PM when the
air in the garage is hot AND solar grid tied system is operating is a great
strategy . GatorTom
