Eighteen panels on the long south elevation, sized around an air-source heat pump that carries most of the winter load.
Eighteen panels along the long south elevation of a converted barn, sized around an air source heat pump.
Solar and a heat pump are not the same season
The heat pump draws hardest in January. The array produces hardest in June. They overlap in the shoulder months and miss each other for about four months a year, and no amount of panels fixes that.
What the array does do is carry the hot water and the standing load from March to October, which is where the bill reduction in this job actually comes from.

The heat pump and the panels miss each other by about four months a year. They said so up front rather than after.
