Abstract—An experimental study is performed to determine the performance of the solar assisted ground source heat pump (SAGSHP) by using a solar-ground source heat pump hybrid system in the city of Ningbo. The result shows that comparing with the ground source heat pump (GSHP), when the ratio of solar energy to the whole energy is 28.7%, the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump and system can improve 15.8% and 11.2%, respectively. The solar assisted ground source heat pump has a significant performance advantage. Therefore, SAGSHP is feasible in technology according to the experimental study results.
