Solar water heating (SWH) is a clean, reliable, and cost-effective method of harnessing solar
energy effectively to satisfy 50–80% of hot water needs. SWH technology is currently …

Product design and optimization is a process of interpolation through iteration. Rating and
certification process involves thorough testing of the product in standard test conditions. But …

The concept of a hybrid solar collector was newly proposed, which has a solar thermal
receiver part and air-source receiver part that can operate as a fin-tube exchanger with fans …

The indirect-expansion solar assisted heat pump (SAHP) is one of the main configurations
for SAHP systems. Previous work on this configuration has focused only on one-stage heat …

In order to increase the utilization of renewable energy and reduce carbon dioxide
emissions, a solar assisted-air source heat pump (SA-ASHP) domestic hot water supply …

Heat pump water heater can economize dramatic amounts of energy in domestic
application. To make full use of hybrid heat source, a solar-air dual series source heat pump …

The techno-economic feasibility of retrofitting existing Canadian houses with solar assisted
heat pump (SAHP) is investigated. The SAHP architecture is adopted from previous studies …

The current research intends to design and develop the simulation-based multi-criteria
optimization (MCO) of the indirect-expansion solar-assisted heat pump (IX-SAHP) used to …

In this paper, we explore intelligent operation strategies, based on stochastic model
predictive control (SMPC), for optimal utilization of solar energy in buildings with integrated …

As building electrification is recognised as an important opportunity to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, the integration of solar energy and heat pump represents a promising …
