Advanced net-positive energy building designs require renewable energy generation, usually solar and/or geothermal heat pumps. Integrating solar thermal technology with ground source heat pumps is a natural match, and if used correctly, can increase the effectiveness and reduce the cost of both systems. The 25- 65% of solar thermal energy often wasted can be utilized for integrated systems. With PV to power the heat pumps, net-positive energy on an annual basis is achievable. A two-year case study is discussed. The control sequences and integration techniques developed and proven for the GSHP and solar combined systems are described.
