What are your thoughts on a Direct exchange geothermal minisplit solar unit using the latest technologies to overcome traditional problems with dx systems?
Direct exchange geothermal minisplit solar unit is a type of heating and cooling system that combines the benefits of geothermal, solar, and minisplit technologies. It consists of the following components:
For a single air handler setup the air handler is connected directly to the copper pipes that run underground. Copper is a highly conductive material, so it easily transfers the ground’s thermal energy to the refrigerant. The indoor air handler has a fan and a coil to exchange the thermal energy from the ground directly to conditioned air using a variable speed compressor, which can adjust the refrigerant flow rate and pressure according to the load and the ground temperature. This ensures that the system operates at the optimal performance and efficiency level at all times.
The solar PV array provides electricity to power the air handler and the compressor, and also charge the batteries.
DX geothermal systems use a sealed refrigerant loop that is designed to prevent any leakage or contamination. The refrigerant used in DX geothermal systems is R-410A, which is a non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-ozone-depleting substance. Moreover, DX geothermal systems use less refrigerant than conventional geothermal systems, because they do not need a secondary fluid or a traditional heat exchanger. DX geothermal systems typically use about 0.6 lbs of refrigerant per ton of capacity, while conventional geothermal systems use about 1.5 lbs of refrigerant per ton of capacity.
Possible reduced installation cost by taking advantage of federal, state, or local incentives, tax credits, rebates, and grants. Recoup the installation cost over time by saving on energy bills and increasing the value of your property.
Direct exchange geothermal systems are fully compliant with the latest codes and standards.

Direct exchange geothermal minisplit solar unit is a type of heating and cooling system that combines the benefits of geothermal, solar, and minisplit technologies. It consists of the following components:
- A solar photovoltaic (PV) array and batteries to reduce the grid dependency of the system.
- A minisplit air handler that distributes the conditioned air using ductless or mini-duct.
- A Direct exchange geothermal variable speed compressor that is incorporated directly into the mini split air handler or for multiple air handers in a separate outside heat pump.
- A Copper pipe loop that runs underground and exchanges heat with the ground using refrigerant. 50 feet length per ton of capacity, buried 6 feet.
