Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AquaHERO heat pump water heater work with solar?
The Karnot AquaHERO is a 200L R290 heat pump water heater with a COP of 4.2. This means for every 1kWh of electricity it consumes, it produces 4.2kWh of heat energy. When powered by the iVOLT solar system, the electricity cost is effectively zero — giving you 200 litres of hot water per day at no running cost. It replaces both electric water heaters and LPG systems.
Will my POS systems and refrigerators stay on during brownouts?
Yes. The 5.12kWh LiFePO4 battery automatically takes over in milliseconds during a brownout. POS terminals, cash registers, refrigerators, freezers, and essential lighting can run for 4-6 hours on battery backup alone. During daytime brownouts, the solar panels continue generating power to extend runtime even further.
Is this kit suitable for a small hotel or pension house?
Absolutely. The F&B Kit is an excellent fit for small hotels and pension houses that need reliable hot water for guest rooms and brownout-proof common area power. The 200L AquaHERO can serve 4-6 guest rooms, and the 5kW solar system covers lighting, fans, and essential equipment throughout the property.
How much hot water does the AquaHERO produce per day?
The AquaHERO produces 200 litres of hot water per heating cycle. In a typical food service environment, this is sufficient for dishwashing, food preparation, and cleaning operations. The tank maintains temperature with minimal energy use thanks to high-density insulation and the heat pump's COP of 4.2. Multiple heating cycles per day are possible for higher-demand operations.
