In many parts of the world, heat is needed to warm homes in winter. What if we could also provide our heating with the same solar panels that provide our electricity? The solution to this is to use the air taken from elsewhere as a heat source. heat pump lies on their devices.

As a country, we need to stop burning natural gas in our homes in order to reduce both imports and environmental pollution. The most easily applicable heating methods as an alternative to natural gas use electrical systems. Since electric heaters consume a lot of electricity, Europe and the world are now switching to heat pumps. Because these systems, instead of heating the air with electricity, heat the air outside with a heat pump and pump it into the house. This technology reduces average electricity consumption by 3-5 times.

However, the biggest problem with heat pumps is that they work harder to provide the same heating due to the decrease in external temperature in winter. This naturally reduces efficiency and increases electricity consumption.

Paxos As a solution to this, the company has already placed airways under the PV panel-covered tiles that we will use to generate electricity. Even if there is a little sun or cloudy weather, the air temperature in the gutters below increases due to the heating of the PV panel tiles. In this case, thanks to a fan that turns on immediately, the double heat source heat pump draws the air heated in the tiles instead of the air outside. Thus, electricity consumption decreases by 20% throughout the year.

Systems to obtain heat from the roof had been developed before, but these generally had complex systems. Some of them contain heat conductors such as circulating pressurized air conditioner gas, water or air. Paxos Here, in order to simplify and make the work cheaper, it uses a system that collects the air absorbed by the tiles from the corrugated pipe above. Such a simple system may not save as much energy as others, but it will definitely be less likely to break down and easier to maintain.

The company sold its production rights to Meyer Burger, Germany’s largest company. Total price of the product with all its equipment for 1 kW 1500 €’yu finds it. Yes, it may be a little more expensive than normal panels, but with this system, you do not have another roof built and mounted on top of it, it becomes the roof itself.

According to its size, the maximum energy it can produce per m2 is 190 W. Of course, heat energy is not included in this. In the tests conducted, in a country like Germany, the heat pump consumed 20% less electricity throughout the year. The weight of the roof is 31 kg per m2, making it lighter than a normal concrete roof. The biggest gain was that the labor force spent on building a normal roof was halved. It is very important in reducing the total cost in a country like Germany, where labor is extremely expensive.
