[QUOTE="PhilSL, post: 6515451, member: 56896"] We have had a number enquiries re the GSHP, including the fully funded model, so I thought I would post our initial response to enquiries, prior to any in depth conversations with farmers. A GSHP system, either a 500kW or 1MW+ unit can provide heating to the parlour, calving shed, workshops etc. Pre heating hot water for wash down and drinking water. To qualify for the RHI a 500kW GSHP would need to demonstrate that combined heat and HW use is needed at a certain time of the year. units only need to run for 1314hrs pa (RHI tier 1 threshold) which is 75kW 24hrs per day or 150kW 12 hrs per day. Use would typically be higher in winter and lower in summer months. Our units are set up and fully monitored to ensure clients hit the threshold. Chilling savings in the region of £20k pa may be achieved for a herd of this size by chilling the milk prior to bulk storage. More uses for heat if needed could be by installing a drying floor or diversifying into other processes that require heat. [/QUOTE]
