Combining a heat pump and photovoltaics is a smart way to save energy and heat in an environmentally friendly way. The photovoltaic system generates electricity from sunlight, which you can use to power your heat pump. The heat pump draws heat from the environment – from the air, soil or groundwater – and uses it to heat your home. This not only saves you money, but also reduces your carbon footprint. It’s a win-win situation! And the best part? You can feed excess solar power into the grid and save even more!

The following explains the operation of the combination of heat pump and photovoltaic:

         1. The photovoltaic system generates electricity from solar energy.

         2. The electricity is fed into the power grid or used directly in the house.

         3. The heat pump uses the electricity from the photovoltaic system for operation.

The combination of heat pump and photovoltaic can significantly reduce heating costs. This is because the electricity from the photovoltaic system is free. In addition, the self-consumption of the solar power can be increased, which reduces the feed into the grid.

There are several ways to realize the combination of heat pump and photovoltaic:

        1. One possibility is to install a photovoltaic system with a power storage unit. The electricity storage stores the solar electricity and can then be used by the heat pump when the photovoltaic system does not generate enough electricity.

        2. Another option is to install a photovoltaic system with a heat pump that is compatible with the electricity from the photovoltaic system. These heat pumps are usually equipped with a so-called SG-Ready input. This input enables communication between the heat pump and the photovoltaic system. This ensures that the heat pump only draws electricity from the photovoltaic system when it is available.
