Abstract

It is well understood that a typical solar domestic hot water system can greatly reduce a building’s reliance on electrical consumption. The system may be further improved by including a heat pump as part of the design. In theory, a heat pump would result in colder fluid temperatures entering the collector thereby resulting in higher collector efficiencies and longer operation periods.
