Aquarea + PV PANELS

Key points:
· Increases the amount of self-consumed electricity from the solar system up to 120%
· Control the heat pump’s energy consumption according to the output of electricity from the PV considering the electric energy consumption requirement of the house
· Innovative algorithm balancing the heat pump’s consumption and the in-house comfort, based on the outside temperature and the energy demand of the building
· Easy configuration of the Heat Pump manager system with the PV system

For F and G Generation
Panasonic has developed an innovative algorithm for its HPM (Heat Pump Manager) which drastically improves the Heat Pump’s use of selfgenerated electricity from connected Photovoltaic panels. The Heat Pump will take the electricity generation by the solar system into consideration for the heating system and the domestic hot water production, without reducing comfort in the house.

For H Generation
Aquarea H Generation can synchronize with PV panel with simple CZ-NS4P PCB. A part of converting Aquarea in Smart Grid Ready, there is a new advantage, this new PCB allows 0-10V control.
With this Aquarea demand is adapting all moment with the PV Panel production.

Comparison on New housing Increase usage of self production by: 120%
The Panasonic Aquarea PV Control could increase the energy consumption of the heat pump coming from the Photovoltaic Panels from 352kWh to 775kWh a year. Results of simulations:

Comparison on Old housing Increase usage of self production by: 71%
The Panasonic Aquarea PV Control could increase the energy consumption of the heat pump coming from the Photovoltaic Panels from 526kWh to 898kWh a year. Results of simulations:
