The SunHorizon project is sharing an online survey to gather feedback on the potential market for sun-coupled innovative heat pumps, non-technical barriers and information on the standardization and certification framework of its technology in Europe. 

We are looking forward to receiving your feedback. You can find the survey here.

We are pleased to invite you to the second stakeholders workshop organised in the framework of the SunHorizon project, this time dedicated to the innovative heat pump technologies deployed within the project. 

In this event you will hear more about the heat pumps role in the project and in the framework of the new Horizon Europe programme. 

Join us online on the 12th of May 2021, at 10:00 CET.

Yesterday, on the 30th of June 2020, SunHorizon project attended “The Renewable Wave of Projects” webinar organised by its partner the European Heat Pump Association.

SunHorizon presented its innovative sun-coupled heat pumps applied in the residential and tertiary sectors.

It was interesting to learn from other projects (GeoAtlantic, SecRHC, Enertun, EHPA’s R&I committee) which are using renewables in other sectors.
