+smaller heat pump. For us, this makes the difference between a 400V and a 230V device with the 7kW heat pump. Before anyone shouts that this would still be way too big: I KNOW! ;) Detailed discussion from here:
Regarding the topic, I never asked myself the question because I already have photovoltaics on the roof and want to use that for the heat pump as well. As far as I know, this only works straightforwardly with one meter.
Just for fun, I just fired up the comparison calculators. I only save 2 cents per kWh in the heat pump tariff here. Either I can't operate the calculators, have a kink in my head, or it would actually never be worth it here. Apparently, I did everything right with my planning.
However, I will ask the electrician to install a proforma meter for the heat pump so that the calculations become easier.
