There is a competitive relationship between Domestic Solar Water Heater (DSWH) and Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) system in terms of roof area owned by households. Hence the implementations of solar Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in urban China should be carefully assessed from cost-benefit asp...
By comparison, the traditional system will keep switching itself on to maintain the heat in its tank, even when no one is home. Although this can mean big energy savings, a tankless system can initially cost up to three times as much as a standard water heater setup. Multiple water heater...
