What you get

Heat pump performance that matches winter, summer, and shower

Heating, cooling, and domestic hot water in the same model. Real building inputs, real outdoor temperature data, and operating cost compared to the existing fuel system, side by side.

Heating, cooling, and hot water

Toggle heating, cooling, and domestic hot water per project. Heat Load Coverage Rate reports the percentage of demand the heat pump meets, separately for each enabled service.

Real building inputs

Building type (detached, ground floor, roof floor, mezzanine), insulation level, conditioned floor area, and heat distribution method (radiator, underfloor, fan coil). Hourly load runs against the project location's outdoor temperature.

COP at real temperatures

Capacity and COP per inlet and outlet temperature, hour by hour. Annual heating COP and cooling COP report what the unit actually delivers across the year, not at one nameplate condition.

Operating cost vs existing fuel

Compare the heat pump against the customer's existing natural gas, coal, or electric system at the unit fuel price they actually pay. Toggle between kWh and local currency views in the Energy Flow Diagram.

Heat pump ROI report

Roll site, COP, and fuel-price inputs into a clear ROI and payback report, the financial case that wins the customer on a heat pump.

One model, four components

Heat pump is one of the four components solarVis models together: PV, battery, heat pump, and EV charger. Each affects the others, and the 4-in-1 model keeps feasibility and proposal math in sync.

Heat pump modeling that matches the building, not the datasheet

· 01Building characterization

Hourly heat load from inputs the installer already knows

Building type, insulation level, conditioned floor area, and distribution method drive the heat load. Number of residents, daily hot water per person, incoming water temperature, and target temperature size the domestic hot water side. The result is an hourly load curve, not an annual kWh estimate.

  • Building type, insulation, floor area, distribution method
  • Domestic hot water sizing from household profile
  • Heating and cooling threshold temperatures per project
  • Hourly load against project location outdoor temperature

· 02Energy Flow Diagram

Existing fuel system versus heat pump, side by side

The Energy Flow Diagram compares the customer's existing system (gas, coal, or electric, with combustion losses where relevant) against the heat pump's grid electricity plus environmental energy. Toggle between kWh and local currency. A monthly stacked-bar chart shows grid electricity and environmental energy across the year.

  • Existing natural gas, coal, or electric heating as the comparison
  • Energy and currency toggle on the same view
  • Monthly grid versus environmental energy breakdown
  • Operating cost framing the customer recognizes from their bill

Heat pump consumption flows into 4-in-1 feasibility

Heat pump hourly consumption is added to the building's existing consumption profile and fed into PV and battery feasibility automatically. Pick a heat pump from the product database manually, or use Suggest to get an auto-recommendation that fits the calculated load.

  • Hourly heat pump consumption in the PV and battery model
  • Manual heat pump selection from the product database
  • Suggest auto-recommendation when you want a starting point
  • Self-consumption and feasibility math update automatically

Questions about heat pump modeling

Heating, cooling, and domestic hot water are three independent toggles in the same model. Pick one, two, or all three per project. Heat Load Coverage Rate reports the percentage of demand the heat pump meets for each enabled service.
