The paper analyzes the design of a typical solution for a smart energy system. It examines a particular plant, evaluating the integration of a Photovoltaic (PV) system and a Ground-Source Heat Pump (GSHP) for residential building service. The idea is to develop a system that maximizes self-consumption of the renewable energy generated by a small-sized solar array installed on the building. The case is analyzed starting from the results of a long-term experimental analysis of a real plant in Pisa. The analysis concerns the energy balance of the system during a year with a special attention on the operation of the two different systems, PV array and GSHP. Some indications on the possible optimum design of this solution are proposed and discussed and analyzed.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the design of a typical solution for a smart energy system. It examines a particular plant, evaluating the integration of a Photovoltaic (PV) system and a Ground-Source Heat Pump (GSHP) for residential building service. The idea is to develop a system that maximizes self-consumption of the renewable energy generated by a small-sized solar array installed on the building. The case is analyzed starting from the results of a long-term experimental analysis of a real plant in Pisa. The analysis concerns the energy balance of the system during a year with a special attention on the operation of the two different systems, PV array and GSHP. Some indications on the possible optimum design of this solution are proposed and discussed and analyzed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
