Meanwhile the EU is intending to ban hot water tanks in favour of instantaneous heaters.
- _ph_ 5y agoDo you have any source for that? Sounds difficult to believe for me as instantaneous heaters are known to be inefficient.
- kwhitefoot 5y agoI just vaguely remember reading it somewhere. Looking for it now it looks like either I misread something or the something I read was mistaken. Sorry.
- archi42 5y agoSource? For solar heating you'll want one to store excess heat collected during the day. With (grid sourced) electricity as the only energy source for the heat - and in absence of a "smart grid" - storing hot water adds losses, compared to heating the water just in time. So I can understand why they might think about some sort of ban. If they go for a ban, I'd expect them to add some conditions.
