TL;DR: In this paper, solar heat pump systems (SHPs) have been investigated for several decades and have been proven to increase the share of renewable energy and reduce electric energy demand in residential heating app...

TL;DR: In this article, a reference solar thermal and air source heat pump combisystem was defined and modelled based on products available on the market and a singular economic cash flow analysis was carried out and the "additional investment limit" of each system variation was determined for a range of economic boundary conditions.

TL;DR: A large share of the buildings in Europe are old and in need of renovation, both in terms of functional repairs and energy efficiency as mentioned in this paper, while many studies have addressed energy renovation of buildin...

TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of solar thermal and heat pump combisystems for domestic hot water and space heating in dwellings is presented, and a comparison is made with a comparison between the two systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the optimised solar and heat pump systems developed in the MacSheepp project as well as the simulation results for these systems, and compare them with the relevant reference system in order to quantify the expected performance increase.
