Our home is heated with a hydronic loop and room radiators.
Now rather than burning 4000 liters of heating oil per year up north here.
Costing 5000 euro, we burn about 1000 euro of wood pellets to heat the water loop.
So when the 10kw of heat from the Hasty Heat CHP pellet stove passes through the TEG's that are water cooled by our hydronic loop, they generate about 400 watts of electricity continuously that is about 9.6 kwh per day, and the heat is then circulated throughout our home to the radiators.
To give 9.6 kwh perspective, that is bout 70 km per day for free driving our Nissan leaf.!
