Abstract

Solar energy use in Nordic countries suffers from a high seasonal mismatch of generation and demand. However, given a large enough community, seasonal thermal storage could be utilized to store summertime heat gains for use in winter. This simulation study examined a Finnish case of fully electric solar heating, where heat pumps (HP) powered by photovoltaic (PV) panels were used for generating heat for both immediate use and for seasonal storage through a borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) system.
