2. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

   When a solar water heating and hot-water central heating system are used together, solar heat will either be concentrated in a pre-heating tank that feeds into the tank heated by the central heating, or the solar heat exchanger will replace the lower heating element and the upper element will remain to provide for supplemental heat. However ...

3. Solar-assisted heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-assisted_heat_pump

   The operating conditions' optimization of this system is the main challenge, because there are two opposing trends of the performance of the two sub-systems: by way of example, decreasing the evaporation temperature of the working fluid increases the thermal efficiency of the solar panel but decreases the performance of the heat pump, and consequently the COP. [4]

4. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

   The heated water can then be used in homes. The advantage of solar thermal is that the heated water can be stored until it is needed, eliminating the need for a separate energy storage system. [1] Solar thermal power can also be converted to electricity by using the steam generated from the heated water to drive a turbine connected to a ...

5. Heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pump

   A solar-assisted heat pump (SAHP) is a machine that combines a heat pump and thermal solar panels and/or PV solar panels in a single integrated system. [28] Typically these two technologies are used separately (or only placing them in parallel) to produce hot water. [29]

6. Storage water heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_water_heater

   Solar heat is clean and renewable. This is the most modern system. Increasingly, solar powered water heaters are being used. Their solar thermal collectors are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or walls or nearby, and the potable hot water storage tank is typically a pre-existing or new conventional water heater, or a water heater specifically designed for solar thermal.
