I have so many questions but at the moment I’m about to have a GSHP installation in the field adjacent to my home.
I am considering laying a cable into the trench for the GSHP flow and return pipes to leave an option for later PV array.
so yes an answer might be to put a conduit in place - probably cheapest and easiest. What size Conduit?
if I laid cable in do, what size cable for the loads?
AC or DC? AC = less losses, DC means an expensive inverter is not left ready to steal in the field! And the DC could feed a battery store at the property. But what are the losses over such a stretch? Negligible or worth worrying About? I also want to integrate with electric car charging too - as yet not installed. The run could be nearer 75 or 100m by the time it’s reached the best place for a battery store!
I’m sorry for so many questions to start with but the answers will help direct better questions!
thanks for your understanding and help in advance.
