Load Shifting With Solar Thermal Heating. What Is It?

Geek Notes

Load shifting means using your solar thermal panels to heat a buffer tank while the sun is out, then drawing on that stored heat later instead of firing your boiler or heat pump on demand. Pairing solar thermal with a heat buffer lets you shift when you generate heat and when you use it, cutting the energy you buy from the grid or gas network. Heat Geek covers this alongside a planned additional buffer setup on a real installation.
