Geek Notes

This is a walkthrough of a working plant room combining solar thermal, solar PV, ground source and air source heat pumps with McDonald water storage, not a single verdict on one technology. Heat Geek points out the design decisions and trade-offs behind combining that many heat sources in one system.
