Overview
Solar energy and geothermal heating and cooling systems have advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, installation efficiency, seasonality, local zoning requirements and restrictions. The biggest factor is going to cost compared to the usability of systems. Solar can work without electricity, but other than that they are very similar.
Solar heat pump
Solar heat pumps work by pumping a coolant solar panels mounted on the roof. Coolant is heated by passing through the collector and then transfer to a heat exchanger. Refrigerant absorbs heat in the heat exchanger and passes through the compressor when the evaporator required airflow passes. The end result is the same as a normal heat pump. Can only heat pumps for heating be amended and used for air conditioning, refrigeration pumps do not have this ability.
Geothermal heat pump
standard parts geothermal heat pump includes a compressor, heat exchangers, air trainer and eliminate condensation on air conditioning use. All these components are usually packaged in a cabinet. "The size of the system will depend on the heating and cooling your home. Geothermal heat pumps can provide a stable domestic hot water until the pump is in the air.
Geothermal Loop
There are two main types of lines - an open and closed. The most popular type used for decades was an open. But the closed lines and their variants is increasing in popularity. Lines are the backbone of the geothermal heat pump systems. They work by pumping water from a well, which is between 100-400 meters depth online to a cold heat exchanger, which either absorb or dissipate heat, depending on the desired function: heat or cold. After the underground heat has been used then pumped back to the individual becomes better. Closed loop is the same, but the water is constantly recycled.
Distribution
Distribution of heated or cooled air is the same as a conventional air conditioning and heating units are available in most modern homes. The difference comes from the possible need for a system to reinforce the traditional engine-driven heating and cooling systems. The efficiency of solar systems are totally dependent on weather and climate at the time, while geothermal energy is more reliable, year-round system, almost regardless of outside temperature.
Considerations
The main reason for the two systems is the initial cost for installation. Solar system will be more effective for smaller houses, while the geothermal system will be better suited for large designs, leading to unnecessarily high costs for installation of electrical circuits. Another factor for geothermal power plant land surface. Depending on the size of the line that required a wide range of fields may be needed, but a plot may be too small for the system.
