Integrate Heat Pumps and Solar
Today, with the increased popularity and availability of renewable energy sources the question of ensuring a proper household heating that is energy and at the same time cost-efficient is not as puzzling as it used to be a few decades ago. More and more people are embracing the environmental sustainability stand and are turning to heat pumps and solar panels as a means of providing heat for their homes.
The heat pumps’ and solar panels’ energy efficiency rates coupled with their eco-friendliness, makes these the perfect choice for those who are concerned about the impact they make on the environment while looking to get the best return on their initial investment. Heat pumps are an excellent low carbon heating solution, but they need electricity to run, and therefore combining them with solar panels will make your home achieve Net-Zero. In order to make the most out of energy sources that to a certain extent are available in an endless supply, a combination of solar energy generating appliances and ground source heat humps is favoured.
The Benefits of a Solar Panel & Heat Pump Combination
By combining two distinct energy sources for heating purposes one will be offered a great value for the money he/she spends on property heating, whereas it will deliver a superior, compared to traditional central heating systems, cost-performance ratio. A combined system like this will:
- Provide a full-scale heating in the winter.
- Provide air conditioning during summer, at a lower energy consumption rate.
- Ensure a degree of flexibility in terms of how the heat is generated, whereas the ground source heat pump’s output would not be affected by the outside weather conditions.
- In the summer, the ground source heat pump would discard the excess of heat produced by the solar collectors and store a part of it for the winter.
