In brief: SunHorizon, Trigeneration with ABB, PV for lighting, SUNiBrain process for sale
The collaborative project Sun Horizon, which combines a heat pump with solar energy, led to the first installations last October on two houses in Latvia
(because the climate is very cold).
This project has brought together the expertise of Boostheat, which provides space heating and domestic hot water for the two detached houses. DualSun's solar panels will produce electricity for heating and domestic appliances.
The study phase will last until the end of 2023 to record as much data as possible. The Sun Horizon project plans to equip eight demonstration sites in Europe with different applications (single-family houses, flats, small buildings, swimming pools and sports centres).

ABB of Switzerland is providing the integrated electrical infrastructure for the construction of a 50 MW seawater heat pump in Denmark. The heat pump will be supplied by the German specialist MAN Energy Solutions.
It is a large-scale trigeneration plant for the simultaneous storage, use and distribution of electricity, heat and cooling. The system uses electricity to produce thermal energy which can then be used for heating or cooling or converted back into electricity. It has an electrical input and output ranging from 2 to 5o MW and a storage capacity ranging from 10 to several hundred MWh.

Turkish scientists have developed a rooftop photovoltaic system as a source of lighting, together with a geothermal heat pump for heating and cooling a greenhouse used for growing tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce. This greenhouse produces its own energy or obtains energy from the grid. The payback period of the system varies from 2.6 to 7 years: in winter, the energy production exceeds the needs. In summer, the cooling needs of the plants are very high, which means that energy must be obtained from the grid

SUNiBrain wants to sell its process of thermal regulation of the panels by watering in order to market another innovation.
SUNiBrain has developed a sprinkler system for cooling PV panels, which increases production. It holds a patent for electronic management of watering triggers optimised to take account of micro-meteorological factors including wind.
