ᐅ Heating System Combination OK?

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

It is possible to set whether hot water or heating has priority, but for comfort reasons, it obviously makes more sense to give priority to hot water.

I consider the above-mentioned concept for a ground source heat pump to be the simplest, and therefore cost-effective and relatively easy to implement without errors.

Regarding the tiled stove, I would recommend researching further! You need a stove with very low output; a typical modern house has a heating demand of about 5-10 kW (variations above or below are possible). I am not sure about the sizes available for tiled stoves, but 5 kW is already quite large!

Where is this hot water storage tank located? Is it inside the house or somewhere underground?

A 170-200 liter (45-53 gallons) storage tank is integrated into the heat pump.
