I also agree with Kim’s post and was wondering the same myself. During the day, you could use solar to heat a large tank of water to use as a solar thermal store. This water would be much warmer than, say, groundwater and could then be used during the night as the heat source. It would be highly efficient because the temperature would be much greater than the internal air temperature. The heat pump would simply be moving heat down the temperature gradient, not up. Essentially, you would be storing solar thermal energy for later use.

I agree to Kim Aippersbach. Why can’t there be an energy source coming from the heat of water. (Especially from sea water since its the most hit by the sun)

Sir,
I want more info on this as can it be used in India as volcano prone areas are less here.

In this seldom accessed thread the wise visitors identify what believe at EcoHill. Geothermal design is science and art…without both you have nothing.
