A US-Mexican research team has investigated how linking heat pumps with solar thermal collectors may help reduce the surface needed to deploy the collectors themselves. The scientists found the proposed solution may not only reduce the footprint of solar thermal systems but also provide a lower levelized of energy compared to fossil fuels.A group of scientists led by the University of Guanajuato in Mexico has developed a new methodology to reduce the area needed for the deployment of solar thermal systems installations (STIs) by linking them with heat pumps. The proposed system consists of a solar ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
