4. A heat pump hot-water supply system, comprising a heat pump hot-water supply device, an electricity storage device, a solar light power generation device for generating power by using solar light, and a control device,
wherein the control device compares an estimated amount of power to be generated by the solar light power generation device on a next day with an estimated amount of power required of the heat pump hot-water supply device on the next day, and thus controls operation of the heat pump hot-water supply device by using power supplied from a commercial power system in a nighttime.
-
6. A heat pump hot-water supply system, comprising a heat pump hot-water supply device, a solar heat-assisted water heater, an electricity storage device, and a control device,
wherein the control device estimates an amount of hot water required on a next day and an amount of hot water to be supplied from the solar heat-assisted water heater on the next day, and thus controls whether the electricity storage device is to be charged or not.
