Solar and Heat Pump Systems: From Thermal Integration to PV (Over)Consumption by Michel Haller
The combination of solar energy with heat pumps offers a wide range of possibilities and opportunities both for PV systems as well as for solar thermal. This presentation sheds a light on some of the concepts that have been observed in developments and in the market in the past years. It also presents general lessons learnt as well as do’s and don’ts from the viewpoints of energy efficiency and of economics.
