Hello,
I am planning to install a ground source heat pump with horizontal collectors in the garden (property size approximately 900 m² (9700 sq ft)), vacuum tube collectors on the south side, and photovoltaic panels on the east side (including a battery storage system that could potentially power the ground source heat pump).
In the living room, I would also like to install a stove connected to the water heating system to contribute to the heating.
What do you think about this combination?
The panels are planned to be distributed as follows:
Vacuum collectors on the garage roof and photovoltaic panels on the house side.
The picture is just an example because of the design.
A spacious double garage is planned, so there should be enough space.
It might also be possible to install some photovoltaic panels on the garage roof and reduce the vacuum collector area slightly.
The garage faces south, and the house side is practically the east side.
How large should both areas be approximately? Are there any subsidies or incentive programs available for both? If so, which ones?
Thank you.
Regards, Michael

At least install a conduit in your house, so that in 10 years, when there might be practical energy storage solutions available, you can retrofit the photovoltaic system.

You even quoted the sentence that precisely does not make the statement generally valid.
But for most single-family homes, the following applies:
Expensive: Combining different heat generators when one would be sufficient.
Inefficient: Oversizing the heat generators due to combining all units, which rarely or never operate simultaneously.
Prone to errors: Three different heat generators all needing to be integrated, instead of a single heat generator perfectly matched to the heating system. Hmm, right. That rather argues in favor of the combination.
The forum and the internet are full of other reasons.Hello,
In the case of biomass heating systems, for example, connecting them with buffer tanks and other heat sources is not only sensible but often necessary.
