Abstract
A water heater auxiliary heating system includes a heat pump. It further includes a first tap to circulate water from a water tank to a heat exchanger within the heat pump. It further includes a second tap to circulate water back to the water tank. The heat pump is controlled by an energy management system to preferentially operate based at least in part on a status of a site energy system that the energy management system is configured to manage. The water tank stores excess energy that is generated locally at the site energy system.
