Thanks for the answers.
How is it with the hot water? Since heat pumps are best suited for small temperature differences? If hot water is then to be heated to 60 degrees in winter, doesn't that require quite a lot of electricity?
How about the combination of air-to-water heat pump + photovoltaic? Probably not worthwhile either, right?
With "heat pump users" in the single-family house sector, you'll hardly find anyone with 60-degree hot water - more likely in the range of 45-50 degrees. Of course, there should be sufficient throughput - meaning the storage tank fills up regularly (topic of legionella).
With photovoltaics, it's a similar situation. High self-consumption in practice is not possible without a battery storage - and weak yield in winter. With a third-party financed photovoltaic system including interest, insurance, repairs, reserves, etc., it is certainly no longer profitable (economically).
