Abstract :

In the previous few decades, the demand for heating and cooling systems has notably increased besides therequirement to get energy in a more efficient and sustainable method. Consequently, the thought of solarphotovoltaic powered heat pumps has become more good-looking to match the heating demand with arenewable and environmentally friendly energy supply. In this present work, the performance of using aphotovoltaic - heat pump system has been experimentally studied by installation the solar photovoltaic on therooftop of the Ayla hotel building in Jordan which is seemly simpler than that of solar thermal to be utilized tosupply heating demand and can supply any available electric load associated with the building or directly to thegrid, As a result by identified the key performance indicators of the system the simple payback period iscalculated to be about 1.94 years where the net profit that yearly saved is about 185,850 JOD.
