What's the actual effect you get out of that? Even half, 12 kW, would be an absolutte beast of heating (for a home), even with 'dumb' convection heating. With heat pumps 2-3 kW should really be enough.

There's simply not a lot of sunlight to go around during the winter and the battery capacity isn't large enough.

Keep in mind we WFH and homeschool so our house is used 24/7 and I think it's a good approximation for OP's goal.
