  1. Logically, if you are going to have a generator to run the heat pump, you would benefit from having a heat exchanger between the generator's cooling system and the home heating system to collect all the waste heat. The result should be a smaller generator is needed, as the heat pump will only be working half as hard. I know that it's a bit more complicated than that as you have to be able to provide the high current needed at startup for the compressor, but this is a relatively easy job for the battery bank+inverter that is likely to be present in a home with a new heat pump, along with solar panels.
