Study Case of Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Heat Pump System for Different Weather Conditions.
Abstract
The combination of solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies with the new heat pump systems is a welcome advancement. These systems could have similar efficiency all the year at different locations if we adjust the solar storage temperature according to the weather conditions. Solar heating with a heat pump system for buildings has been designed to achieve different values of the fraction of primary energy saving using the Flat Plate Collectors (FPC) and solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, and having the higher efficiency of the system with net zero energy in thermal production. New systems will need to accomplish the new Directive 2010/31 / EU, which sets that by 31st December 2020 new buildings in the EU will have to consume 'nearly zero-energy' .
