It uses reverse refrigeration to act as a heat pump and heat up water. This a cost-effective, environmentally friendly way of heating water, especially for homes off the grid.\n\nIt has been developed commercially in the [[UK]] and is effective down to -10°C (14° F) but is more efficient in warm to hot conditions.\n\n== External links ==\n\n* [http://www.yougen.co.uk/blog-entry/2076/Thermodynamic+panels%273A+your+questions+answered/ Thermodynamic Panels: Your Questions Answered]\n* [https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/solar-energy/solar-thermal/thermodynamic-panels Thermodynamic Panels: Cost-Effective Water Heating]\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n}}\n\n[[Category:Water heating]]\n[[Category:Heat pumps]]"}
