Almost all single-family detached houses in Canada consume enormous electrical energy for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) purposes. There are many possibilities to design an energy-efficient house. A solar water heating system can be used for domestic water and space heating. Water temperature can be kept constant always by connecting a heat pump or oil burner to the main tank because solar energy is intermittent. The sizing of solar photovoltaic and collector, tank, heat pump are essential to design an effective system based on the system energy consumption. The existing house is just a conventional house where space and water heating are provided by the grid electricity only. In this research, two possible ways of thermal energy storage systems have been designed for a residential single-family house with solar collector and solar photovoltaic. It is proved that the proposed PV based energy storage system is highly suitable considering lower cost, high output power, flexibility, and easy installation.

Almost all single-family detached house in Canada consume huge electricity for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) purposes. There are many possibilities to design an energy-efficient house. A solar water heating system can be used for domestic water and space heating. Water temperature can be kept constant always by connecting a heat pump or oil burner because solar energy is intermittent. Proper and optimized solar photovoltaic and collector design, tank design, heat pump selection, house insulation, total demand calculation in each section are essential. Energy-Efficient house design has been proposed with water heating and space heating system and compared with the existing system, solar PV based systems, and solar collector based system. The tracking and non-tracking based solar thermal collector based and the solar photovoltaic based system has been compared in this paper and investigate the suitable one for practically applicable and acceptable by the people. Simulation has been done by using the PolySun software. It found that by implementing the proposed PV based system with tracking is highly suitable considering lower cost, high output power, flexibility, easy installation.

A rating procedure for solar domestic hot water systems is described which combines the advantages of short-term system tests and correlations of long-term thermal performance. The testing procedure consists of two indoor tests which are in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 95-1981, except for one additional measurement needed only for systems employing a heat exchanger between the collector fluid and the potable water. The test results are plotted in a manner in which they can be used to estimate the long-term performance of the solar water heating system for any location where site-specific, monthly-average meterological data are available. The annual solar function obtained in this manner provides the recommended rating indicator. The validity of this rating procedure is first demonstrated by simulations. Further support is provided by experiments conducted at the National Bureau of Standards.

This paper deals with the use of solar energy, heat pumps, and solar system-heat pump combinations for domestic water heating. The testing of solar tiles, flat plate collectors as an autonomous system, as well as flat plate collector-heat pump and solar tile-heat pump combinations, are presented. Black-coloured water absorbs solar radiation flows through solar tiles made of transparent polymethyl methacrylate (CH2C(CH3)COOCH3). At the same time, solar tiles are used as a roof covering and as a solar radiation collector. Hot water from solar tiles or a flat plate collector is directed to the heat pump, which increases the temperature of water entering the boiler heating coil. The heat of water heated in solar tiles or in flat plate collectors serves as a source of energy for the heat pump. Since the goal was realistically evaluate the efficiency of solar tiles in comparison with the flat plate collector, extensive measurements of both systems under identical condition were carried out. The experiments were carried out in rainy, cloudy, and clear weather.

New energy development and utilization is an important approach to solve the problem of energy shortage,a new type of composite heating system is proposed in this study. It expounds the research ideas, the technical principle and operation plan of the system. Through a comparative analysis of the performance coefficient of composite heating system, reclaimed water source heat pump system and solar hot water heating system, it Comes to the conclusions that the composite heating system can not only reduce the operating cost but also improve the running performance of reclaimed water source heat pump and reduce the heat loss of solar hot water heating system.
