Leading solar panel and heat pump installer, Intelligent Energy Solutions, have launched their brand new heating system which can combine the benefits of solar PV panels, solar thermal panels, heat pumps and woodburners into one highly efficient system.
Unlike many systems, the dual tank system is able heat hot water for showers and bathing utilising the wood burner, solar thermal panels and heat pump simultaneously. The combination of flat plate heat exchange, thermal store and unvented hot water systems give fantastic water performance when the heat pump runs with or without the solar panels and wood burner. Existing, so called, ‘renewable thermal stores’ historically require heat pump and solar thermal water to be boosted with an immersion heater to over 80 degrees for hot water to function normally. This system, developed by the IES Leeds branch does not require an immersion for this purpose. This gives the customer massive efficiency benefits.
The solar PV panel system contributes by supplying the electricity to run the heat pump, circulation pumps, controllers and any other electricity draws within the property.
IES Leeds Project Manager, David Milne said “The experience at IES has enabled us to develop a unique solution to an age old problem of how to effectively combine different heat sources efficiently.”
