Sustainable heating with solar power:
Electric heating with photovoltaics
How electric heating with photovoltaics works
An electric heater with photovoltaic power utilizes solar energy generated by photovoltaic modules installed on the roof or in other suitable areas of the building. The solar energy is converted into direct current (DC) and then transformed by an inverter into alternating current (AC) to power the electric heater. Alternatively, the electricity can be stored in energy storage systems and used later. This solution enables sustainable and eco-friendly heat generation from renewable energy sources.
Advantages of a photovoltaic heating system
A photovoltaic heating system offers numerous advantages. It utilises renewable energy sources, reduces CO2 emissions and lowers energy costs in the long term. The combination of photovoltaics and electric heating enables virtually emission-free heat generation and is independent of fossil fuels. Homeowners also benefit from government subsidy programmes and feed-in tariffs for surplus electricity.
Installation and maintenance of photovoltaic heating systems
Installing a photovoltaic heating system requires expertise and careful planning. Photovoltaic modules are installed on the roof or in other suitable locations to ensure maximum solar radiation. The electric heater itself is usually easy to integrate and requires minimal maintenance. However, regular inspections and cleaning of the photovoltaic system are important to maintain the efficiency and performance of the system.
Costs and savings potential of photovoltaic heating systems
The costs for a photovoltaic heating system include the purchase of the photovoltaic system and the installation of the electric heating. In the long term, however, homeowners can make considerable savings on their energy costs as they can generate a large proportion of the electricity they need themselves. Feed-in tariffs and state subsidies also contribute to profitability and improve the cost-effectiveness of investing in renewable energies.
Electric heating and PV system - the perfect duo?
The combination of electric heating and a photovoltaic system is an ideal solution for sustainable heating. The PV system generates clean electricity from solar energy, which is used directly for electric heating. As a result, homeowners can not only reduce their energy costs, but also make a valuable contribution to environmental protection. The integration of both systems is a sustainable investment that offers long-term benefits for living comfort and the environment.
