clea,
thanks a lot for putting up that information.
Is your system capable to put excess heat from solar thermal (or any other heat source) back into the ground? If not, was that a consideration and you decided against it?
I never asked about using the ground loops for anything other than the heating/ac of the house.
I guess they could be used for storing excess heat but i wonder if that would have required me to have more holes dug in the yard as the system was sized for only storing/retrieving the heat from the ground for the house's thermal needs.
But now you've got my curiosity peeked to know what other heat sources would generate enough that i could make use of the ground loops to put it there and what purpose that would serve.
