The unit I clamped was a ground sourced heat pump.

Friends,

Are we confusing two distinct technologies? 

Water Heater Heat Pumps are not Water Source Heat Pumps.

Thanks,

Dan was this a mini-split? The one's I've installed (typically not for
1800sqft house) spec AWG 14 or 12 so the full power draw on these can't be
anywhere near that. In fact, there are two or three which are PV direct
i.e.:
http://www.hotspotenergy.com/solar-air-conditioner/HotSpot-ACDC12b.pdf

which looks rebranded but with a SEER of 35,  it's certainly worth a look.
Gree also has one for which I don't have the tech sheet. The highest AC
brand that I know of is Fujitsu and the SEER on it is ~26.

What kind of power draw do you see on this unit? & what kind of duty cycle
do you see for 2 people or 4 people?

I amp clamped a 1800 sqft house heat pump for DHW & house heat in full power
and measured 4338 watts & have a rough time recommending heat pumps for off
grid.

Water heater heat pumps make excellent sense in a garage in HOT HUMID
SOUTHERN CLIMATES and about 700 square feet of garage space is necessary AND
you must run a condensate line like an air conditioner . DO NOT PUT THEM IN
CLOSETS AND OR SMALL LAUNDRY ROOMS UNLESS YOU CAN VENT 700 square feet of
unconditioned air space to them . They are noisy , but a garage in a humid
hot southern climate is a good choice and with a time clock set for 11:00 AM
to 4: 00 PM when the air in the garage is hot AND solar grid tied system is
operating is a great strategy . GatorTom
