100GREEN Talks Eduard Pastushenko: Are Heat Pumps Effective Together with Solar Generation?

Solar Generation + Heat Pump: How Efficient Can Such a Combination Be in Ukraine?

The Global 100 RE Ukraine website published an article about practical cases where solar generation works together with heat pumps and storage systems. One of the striking examples is a project in Zviahel, where the estimated cost of heat after modernization decreased from 3,278 to 582 UAH/Gcal.

In the new 100GREEN Talks, Eduard Pastushenko, Head of the Heat Pump Association of Ukraine, answers the main question: what is the potential of combining heat pumps with solar generation, and can such a model be scaled across Ukraine?

A heat pump can use electricity from a solar power plant to generate heat, while a comprehensive approach combines generation, consumption, and storage within a single energy system. Today, such solutions open up new opportunities for businesses, communities, and facilities with a constant demand for heat and hot water.

How this model works in practice and where it can be most efficient—watch in the new 100GREEN Talks.
