In general the Government does not incentivise feeding back into the grid therefore the best system is the one that matches your demand. This provides you with the best return on investment. Back-up Systems can be installed with our without Photovoltaic. A step further from that is then to connect your Photovoltaic Back-up system to the grid, where you export excess energy to the main grid if your batteries are full and you don’t use your production. Therefore one of the first steps to reduce your consumption would be to install either a solar geyser or a heat pump. Solar Water Heating Collectors need radiation to heat the water. With Solar Water Heating you need to increase your geyser size. As more hot water you use, as faster is the pay-back. A Heat Pump takes the ambient temperature, extract the heat and use it to heat your water. So Heat Pumps work well all year round, as warmer the ambient temperature as more efficient they are. A Heat Pump will heat your water at about ½ the cost of your normal electrical geyser element. You also need to keep in mind that the Heat Pump mixes the water in your geyser which cools it down even fast when using hot water. We prefer to connect Heat Pumps to an additional feeding geyser which then feeds your electric geyser with pre-heated water. The panels are black and the radiation from the sun heats the water in the panels while it is running through. For customers who either do not have the necessary roof space for Solar or who would like to use their pool all year round we recommend to install a Pool Heat Pump. The manufacturer we use has been in business for many years and we have only good experience with it. Room Heating using renewable energy solutions will provide you with constant comfortable temperatures and reduce your carbon footprint substantially compared to any other space heating solution. The basic principle is a water based heating solution where you install a heat pump and circulate the hot water with pipes through your house. Wall Heating is a good alternative to Underfloor Heating when you are already doing renovations in your home. It is a possible retrofit solution because you can get the space you need from your wall rather than from your floor but it is a dusty business and we therefore do not recommend doing it while living in the house. However, when it’s done you will be able to enjoy a similar room temperature than with the underfloor heating except for the warm floor. Radiators are a retrofit solution that can be built into almost any home. The only requirement is that the systems water pipe can be connected to the radiator. Radiators are very common in many European countries and they work the same way than the underfloor heating and the wall heating.
