The BWWP costs only a "few euros" extra. However, it saves about half of the electricity for water heating compared to an instantaneous water heater. Instantaneous water heaters definitely do not fall under the category of renewable energies, regardless of whether they are operated with photovoltaics. I know this because we currently have two of them and have to switch to meet the KfW Standard 100. Photovoltaics are far from sufficient for normal self-consumption in winter, let alone for heating. That is more for spring/autumn. With my 7.28 kwp system, I sometimes only get 1-2 kWh per day in winter (for comparison: in summer with sun it is 45-48 kWh per day!) and I have a south orientation. That is not nearly enough. I also don’t quite understand the logic why a BWWP costing 700-1000 euros should be uneconomical, but a 15k euro air heat pump for heating is not. Although the BWWP operates at room temperature, i.e. +20°C, whereas the air-water heat pump has to work with outside temperatures (we had -15°C last winter). Indach is more expensive, stay under 10 kwp! (As far as I know, there is a small system regulation up to 10 kwp, but google that again.).
