Yes. Because the system operates on low temperatures (typically between 30C and 50C) it is ideal for connecting to alternative heat sources such as a heat pump, solar panels, a heat recovery system, or wood/pellet boiler. Using a thermal store, these systems can be used in any combination to supplement the output from your boiler and save you even more of your fuel costs. Bear in mind that solar panels are best used for domestic hot water rather than the heating, because when the demand for heating is highest, the output from the solar panels is at its lowest.
