There is no shortage of opinions on this Forum.

Calling the SunPump a "Gimmick" is false information. Why would you say that ****? Have you ever seen one working? Or read a test report? I have, and they work well. Super smart people at NREL, DOE, and CEC are excited about the technology. So are Builders and Owners who have one in their home.

If you want facts, reach out to their Engineers at: https://www.sunpump.solar/

SunPump is for space heating and hot water. Cooling and power has been done about 5 years ago, and cooling is expected to reach California for Zero Energy Homes this Spring.

PV is complimentary to SunPump, they each do a different thing, Power and Heat. The magic of a Heat Pump is the efficiency in moving heat at 300% EF rather than creating it from the sun at a 20% EF. PV is great for lights, but sucks at heating water.
