🔧 High-Performance Ground Source Installation – North Devon Barn Conversion
Our Ground Source division has recently completed another Volta renewable heating system at a high-spec barn conversion in North Devon — delivering an efficient, fully integrated solution for both space heating and pool heating.
This installation demonstrates the performance and flexibility of the Volta inverter-driven ground source heat pump when combined with smart system design and PV hybridisation. By utilising excess PV generation, the system automatically diverts renewable energy to pool heating, maximising on-site energy use and overall system efficiency.
System specification:
• 5 × 200m horizontal ground array
• Volta W-S-F 22kW inverter-driven ground source heat pump
• 300L buffer vessel
• 400L high-gain heat pump cylinder
• Volta dry cooler
• PV hybridisation for energy optimisation
• Full web-based monitoring and control via South West Heat Pumps
The system provides precise control, robust performance, and long-term operational efficiency — key outcomes for modern renewable heating design.
💬 Client feedback:
"I am truly delighted with everything you have done, and to be honest, I can now totally see the value in the whole system you have provided for me. It's excellent! Also, all the members of your team, especially Russell, have been so friendly and helpful and really tried their best to do a great job, and for this I am extremely grateful. I really appreciate your advice from the start, and the design detail, that made this all come together so well."
