How to maximise your Solar PV system?
How Does Your Hot Water Heat Pump Work with Your Solar PV System via SG ready feature.
When it comes to energy efficiency and sustainability, having advanced technology in your home can make all the difference. That’s where SG Ready comes in!
What is SG Ready?
SG Ready stands for Smart Grid Ready. It’s a feature in advanced heat pumps like ours, designed to work seamlessly with modern energy systems, including solar PV. Simply put, this feature allows your heat pump to directly use electricity generated by your solar panels, making it smarter and more energy-efficient.
Warmth.NZ currently offers heat pumps with in-built SG-ready features. Learn more by clicking here.
How Does It Work?
Using Solar Energy:
When your solar panels generate electricity during the day, your heat pump can tap into this power directly. This means your heat pump is running on clean, free energy from the sun.Smart Scheduling:
If your system includes an energy management device, the SG Ready feature can sync with it to optimize energy use. For example, it can prioritize heating water when solar energy is abundant.Save Money, Help the Planet:
By using solar energy, you reduce reliance on grid electricity, which lowers your energy bills and reduces your carbon footprint.

Why is SG Ready Important?
Most heat pumps run on electricity, and while they’re already efficient, pairing them with solar PV makes them even more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. With an SG Ready heat pump, you’re not just heating your home or water—you’re doing it smarter.
What Should You Do?
If you already have solar panels or are planning to install them, talk to your solar PV provider or energy management system provider. Ask them if your system can connect with our SG Ready heat pump to take full advantage of this feature.
