We explore how solar PV, battery storage and air source heat pumps work together to create a sustainable, cost-effective heating system. With insights from Laurence Bradbury (Aurium Energy), Simon Smith (SA Energy) and Brian Beaver (GivEnergy), the panel breaks down the benefits of integrating these technologies into UK homes.
Solar panels generate daytime electricity, reducing the running costs of heat pumps, while batteries store excess energy to be used at peak times. This setup allows homeowners to maximise efficiency and minimise reliance on high-rate electricity tariffs.
The episode also highlights the challenges homeowners face when adopting these systems, such as compatibility, sizing and understanding tariff schedules.
