Abstract

Solar energy is called to play a relevant role in meeting the energy requirements of heating and cooling in industry and households. Its widespread use depends on the development of cost-effective and highly-efficient systems. The joint installation of heat pumps and photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) panels can greatly contribute to these targets, since solar energy provides a heat source that allows operating the evaporator of the heat pump cycle at a higher temperature than the air temperature in winter. The coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump therefore increases because of the reduction of the electricity expense on the compressor. Additionally, the solar system is allowed to work in a low temperature range, so the heat loss from the collector to the surrounding areas decreases, resulting in higher collector efficiencies.
