Solar heating element to support the heat pump

Solar-Heizstab als Unterstützung für die Wärmepumpe

What advantages does a solar heating element offer compared to heat pumps for hot water preparation?

A solar heating element comes into play precisely here. It converts photovoltaic power directly into hot water very efficiently and cost-effectively. It is ideally suited for hot water preparation at high temperatures. A water temperature of 65 °C can easily be achieved with a solar heating element in sunshine.

The solar heating element increases the efficiency of the heat pump (SCOP = seasonal performance factor). It also reduces wear and tear on the heat pump's compressor.

Another very important point is the stepless controllability of a solar heating element. Here, the photovoltaic power can be converted into heat with wattage precision every second. Therefore, it doesn't matter that the unit is constantly being switched on and off, or that the load changes, etc.
