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 maximizes 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.
