10kW on the roof and a Sanden heat pump hot water set to only run 9-5. I get credit from the Energy Australia for all the summer months which I spend on on the AC heat pump in winter. 25 year warranty on the panels and 20 on the micro inverters. The economics stack up.

If I knew for sure the Sanden would last 10 years yes, but unlike very simple gas water heaters, heat pumps have a disturbingly high failure rate.* *At least that was the way it seemed from my research, similar situation 6.66kw solar on roof, functional gas hotwater. We do have both Gas and Heat pump house heating/cooling. Heat pump is much cheaper, gas is much faster, even running the largest size possible ducted heat pump split system. I have the gas warm the house from 6am to 8am, then heat pump take over for the rest of the day.
