The Renewable Heat Incentive gives
households and businesses financial reward for investing into renewable
heating. With the introduction of hybrid heat pumps, heat pumps can be
installed alongside gas boilers and when working with each other, perform
better than individual installations. The smart controllers monitors
the demand, weather and performance of the heat pump and during cold
temperatures, the gas boiler will help out and deliver more of the heat
and maximises the efficiency of the heating system. When the
heat pump are not being supplied by free energy from solar PV, they
can be powered by battery storage, which is charged from solar
PV and topped up when the price of the electricity is the lowest.
