Considering solar to power your heat pump? Wether you’re building a new solar panel system or adding panels to your existing solar system to cover the load. With or without battery or water tank storage. In this video, we cover heat pump load and storage sizing, different energy storage types as well as what to watch out for.
I was surprised at how many questions I saw that went something like: “Can You Run a Heat Pump With Solar?” Yes, you can power a heat pump with solar panels. The question is how to make it most economically viable and sustainable.
There are four options:
1. Batteries, meaning chemical batteries, typically lithium ion
2. A water tank to store the heat - thus, thermal storage
3. Outstanding insulation
4. The grid and its backup or power generation.
In this video you'll learn about the advantages and disadvantages of these options. We'll go into both the heat pump system sizing as well as the battery storage sizing.
