Enjoying the sun’s warmth at home

Most people know that sunlight can be converted into affordable electricity for everyday household loads, such as washing machines and electric vehicle chargers. But that’s not all the sun can do. By converting excess PV energy into heat, you bring the sun’s warmth indoors exactly when you need it.

Is generating hot water with solar energy a worthwhile option?

With feed-in tariffs at low levels, maximizing how much PV energy you use at home has never been more beneficial. Heat pumps, infrared heaters, water boilers, and buffer storage tanks can all be integrated into your photovoltaic system to increase the rate of self-consumption. Cooling units and air conditioners can also be operated with solar power, helping you rely less on the public grid while lowering long-term energy costs.
