   Israel, Cyprus and Greece are the per capita leaders in the use of solar water heating systems supporting 30%–40% of homes. [6] Flat plate solar systems were perfected and used on a large scale in Israel. In the 1950s a fuel shortage led the government to forbid heating water between 10 pm and 6 am.

3. Solar-assisted heat pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-assisted_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. [1] Typically these two technologies are used separately (or only placing them in parallel) to produce hot water. [2] In this system the solar thermal panel performs the function of the low ...

4. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia
