Solar panels and thermodynamic boilers: a winning combination?
Do you have solar panels and are considering installing a thermodynamic boiler, but are wondering about their compatibility? Good news: yes, they're perfectly compatible and form an ideal energy duo for your home.
How does a thermodynamic boiler work?
A thermodynamic boiler uses an integrated heat pump to capture calories from the ambient air and heat domestic hot water. This innovative technology is both ecological and economical, consuming much less energy than a traditional electric water heater.
When combined with photovoltaic panels, the electricity produced feeds directly into the boiler, transforming your solar system into an even more efficient and autonomous tool. See our range of thermodynamic boilers.
The advantages of this combination
- Lower energy costs: By powering your thermodynamic boiler with electricity generated by your solar panels, you significantly reduce your consumption of energy from the grid, which directly lowers your bills.
- Maximizing self-consumption By using solar energy to heat domestic hot water, you optimize the use of your solar production, particularly during periods of high sun exposure.
- Reduced environmental impact: This doubly renewable solution - solar and thermodynamic - reduces your carbon footprint while guaranteeing optimum energy efficiency.
Some key points to consider
- Precise sizing: To get the most out of this combination, it's crucial to correctly size your solar panels and thermodynamic boiler to meet your specific hot water needs. A professional assessment is essential.
- Smart programming: Some thermodynamic boilers feature a "smart grid ready" function, allowing them to operate as a priority when your solar panels are producing the most electricity. This synchronization improves energy efficiency and reduces losses.
- Seasonality: Although this combination is highly efficient in summer thanks to high solar production, it remains effective in winter thanks to the thermodynamic boiler's ability to capture calories from the ambient air.
By heating your domestic hot water mainly with renewable and "free" energy, you increase your energy autonomy and reduce your costs.
