A photovoltaic thermal panel for heat-pump homes
Dutch business Triple Solar has actually released a photovoltaic thermal solar panel for property structures which can be attached to a salt water or water heatpump. The maker claims the heater based upon the panel is an excellent option to much less reliable air as well as water heatpump and also extra pricey geothermal systems. The grid-connected PV system can export excess power under web metering programs.
