Heat pump sales rise 17% across Europe in Q1 as energy prices surge – pv magazine International - Residential heat pump sales increased 17% across 11 European countries in the first quarter of 2026, following a sharp rise in gas and oil prices after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in March, says the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA).
Heat pumps are good for electric heating.
Solar panels reduce thermal stress in dairy barns during critical afternoon hours – pv magazine International - A study from China shows rooftop PV systems on dairy barns can significantly reduce roof heat flux and improve indoor thermal conditions. Field measurements and simulations found up to a 2.3 C reduction in indoor temperature during peak afternoon heat stress periods.
From solar panels being extra insulation.
