SOLINK heat pump collector

SOLINK is a hybrid collector, photovoltaic and solar thermal in one, designed for brine heat pumps. It produces electricity and heat at the same time.

An air heat exchanger of about 20 m² on the underside of each 2 m² module draws heat from the surrounding air, so SOLINK keeps supplying the heat pump at night and needs no ground probes. There are no fans and no outdoor unit, and SOLINK has been in field use since the winter of 2016/17.

SOLINK won first place in the Energy Efficiency category of the 2017 Baden-Württemberg Environmental Technology Prize.

Energy collector for ground source heat pumps

SOLINK combines the high efficiency of ground source heat pumps with the advantages of air heat pumps.

Silent operation and flexible use on roofs or facades make the collector attractive as an energy source for electricity and heat. SOLINK was specially developed for heat pumps.

Coupling with geothermal probes is not necessary due to the high efficiency heat exchange with double use of the roof area. This creates systems with a completely renewable energy supply and low operating costs.
