PVT Heating System with Sunmaxx Technology.

Affordable, Climate-friendly and Nearly Self-sufficient Heating and Cooling with Photovoltaic-thermal Hybrid Modules from Sunmaxx.

Modules that supply electricity and heat at the same time? The technology of the start-up from the MAHLE family is now also available for private homes - either as a complete system with a heat pump or as a supplement to existing geothermal heating. Switch to PVT now and save electricity and heating costs.

Your oil or gas heating system needs to be replaced? Refilling the tank literally burns holes in your budget? Are you wondering if an alternative heating solution is worthwile?
It's time to take a look at PVT heating systems then: Become independent from external energy providers. With Sunmaxx, you can supply your home with permanently low-cost, renewable heat - whether at midday or at night, 365 days a year - and even generate electricity at the same time.

"Just Like a Geothermal Collector on the Roof" – the Smart Way of Heating.

Example of heating systems with PVT modules and brine heat pump

PV on the front, thermal energy on the back: hybrid modules from Sunmaxx work like a ground collector that is installed on the roof and not only supplies heat but also electricity.

How does it work? Pretty simple: the modules generate energy from solar radiation and ambient temperature. They supply your brine heat pump with electricity and source heat all year round.

Thanks to hybrid energy generation, the entire system always runs highly efficient: whether at midday or late at night, in summer or winter. Climate-friendly and absolutely noiseless.

Why Is a PVT Heating System the Best Choice for My Private Home?

Buying a new oil or gas heating system is no longer worthwhile - even if you completely disregard ecological factors. At the same time, the additional purchase of fossil fuels is an ever-increasing cost factor due to CO2 taxes. In contrast, a PVT heating system runs exclusively on energy from the sun and ambient temperature. And unlike combinations of air source heat pumps and PV, a PVT heating system is highly efficient and completely silent and does not require an additional outdoor unit.

How Does a PVT Heating Systems with Sunmaxx Hybrid Modules Work?

A PVT heating system can be operated in two ways: Either as a monovalent system, meaning the hybrid modules serve as the sole heat source for the brine heat pump. Or as a bivalent system in combination with a geothermal probe or ground collectors. So if you have recently opted for a geothermal system, there's no need to be disappointed: PVT gives your geothermal heating system an enormous efficiency boost by storing excess heat from the summer in the ground.

Your Benefits when Shifting to a PVT Heating with Sunmaxx Technology:

  • 4 times more efficient use of roof area space than with conventional PV
  • More than 80% overall electrical and thermal efficiency
  • 5 to 10% more electrical yield due to cooling of the modules
  • Suitable for any roof shape, also possible as facade system
  • Can also be used to cool the building down
  • Snow melting possible
  • Favorable modules prives thanks to automotive heat exchanger technology
  • Eligible for subsidies according to BEG and GEG
