Title: Heat pump impact upon solar collector design and cost

Abstract

Required collector area in series solar assisted heat pump systems is determined for three cities as a function of collector performance characteristics and compared with systems in which the solar-derived heat is used directly. Effect on system performance of improvements in heat pump performance is discussed. A cost vs yield analysis of several existing collectors is performed.
