Water-source heat pump integrating cooled photovoltaic panels, thermal storage

Researchers in Italy have designed a water-source heat pump system intended for generating cooling, heating and domestic hot water in social housing stock built during the 1970s-1990s. The novel concept integrates photovoltaic-thermal energy with thermal storage and promises a seasonal coefficient of performance of 5. A group of researchers led by the Sapienza University of Rome has developed a new water-source heat pump (WSHP) system integrating photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) energy and thermal energy storage (TES) for the production of integrated heating, cooling, domestic hot water production and ...
