Researchers from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have demonstrated a hybrid system for drying woody biomass that utilizes both solar thermal energy and a heat pump. “We have indeed ...

Hybrid heating home systems combine the energy efficiency of a heat pump system with the power of a gas furnace. Most of the time, the heat pump operates at total capacity to heat the home.

Hybrid heating systems consist of both a heat pump and gas furnace, offering heating flexibility. But are they a necessity or just a wasteful upgrade?

The Sun Horizon consortium has started to collect performance data on two pilot projects that combine heat pumps with solar systems using hybrid panels on homes in Riga, Latvia. The solution ...

Hybrid systems offer a pathway that balances environmental concerns with practical considerations, ensuring a more sustainable and feasible transition towards cleaner energy sources.

If you have a green electricity source such as solar, you have a clean way to create hot water, but it’s very expensive and inefficient compared to a hybrid electric heat pump.

When you stream a movie, back up a photo or ask ChatGPT a question, somewhere a data center is working hard—and getting hot.

Rewiring America’s new campaign helps families grab expiring federal energy tax credits and cut long-term home energy costs.

C onventional heat pumps have been heating and cooling homes for decades. In fact, about one in three homes in the United States already uses one. However, heat pumps are mostly f ...

The wind-solar-storage system accounts for 40.5MW of capacity combined with a 500kW thermal shallow-ground heat pump system, which will supply pollutant-free space heating in public buildings.
