2 Foreword

3 2/3 Combined heat and power generation for a high level of independence When looking at the distribution of energy consumption in Germany it soon becomes apparent that the heating sector has an important part to play in the energy transition. Accounting for approximately one third of energy consumption, heating offers enormous potential to cut back on the use of fossil fuels. As a result, both decentralised and combined heat and power generation are now high on the agenda. In future, the power-generating heating system will also come into play when renewables such as wind and insolation are offline. Intelligent efficiency: the heating system that also generates power Viessmann does not need any prompting, as the company is always seeking new solutions. "Power" is the keyword when it comes to generating and using power on site. For this, for example, we offer an efficient solution based on the principle of microgeneration, i.e. the intelligent combination of heat and power generation (CHP). We have refined this technology especially for detached and two-family houses the Vitovalor PT2 fuel cell heating appliance supplies energy efficiently while conserving resources. Greater independence with a power-generating heating system A power-generating heating system produces heat and power when and where required with no transportation losses or excess capacity. In combination with a photovoltaic and a power storage system, it is possible to enjoy a self-sufficient power supply summer and winter. For a high degree of independence and for climate protection.

4 Energy savings Double the savings: generate heat and power simultaneously Gas condensing boiler and fuel cell module in one appliance. Generate both heat and power simultaneously and reduce your energy bills by up to 40 percent. With a power-generating heating system, you get double the use of the energy spent. The heat produced almost as a by-product during power generation is used for central heating and DHW heating. This significantly lowers your energy bills and protects the environment. With the Vitovalor PT2 fuel cell heating appliance, you have a highly efficient system that has been perfectly designed for detached and two-family houses. Generate up to 85 percent of your own power The powerful Vitovalor PT2 fuel cell heating appliance covers the base load of the power demand for a detached or two-family house. You only draw power from the grid at peak times. In combination with a photovoltaic system and power storage unit, you can achieve up to 85 percent independence from external power supply utilities. Maximum energy efficiency on the smallest of footprints: the compact Vitovalor PT2 requires just 0.72 square metres of floor space. Prioritising independence: storing power for later use Power-generating heating systems from Viessmann produce sufficient power for a family of four. They often even generate more than required. Where that is the case, the surplus is simply stored in the Vitocharge power storage system to be drawn upon later. You will find more detailed information on power storage units from page 12. Lower your energy bills On-site power generation puts you on the fast track to savings. After all, by using power generated on site you can considerably lower your electricity bills and give ever rising electricity prices the cold shoulder. In fact, you can even earn money by exporting power to the grid if you generate more than you use. Sample calculation: annual saving from power generation with the Vitovalor PT2 Assuming a cost of 2.31 cents for each kwh of power generated on site, you save: 25 ct/kwh If put to best use, one fuel cell can generate 18 kwh of power per day (6200 kwh/year). Power generation of 4000 to 4500 kwh is assumed in a "typical" detached house 4200 kwh (max kwh possible) Approx. 60 percent of the power generated on site can now be used in this "typical" detached house. This amounts to: 2520 kwh x 0.25 per kwh = 630 p.a. 630 (max to 1550 achievable with 100 % on-site consumption) From exporting power, we get: 1680 kwh x 0.05 per kwh = Annual energy bill savings 714 Simple calculation, clear benefits: a power-generating heating system is a worthwhile investment. This calculation illustrates the average savings achievable with a Vitovalor PT2 in a new build.

6 Subsidies/Services Investing made simple: through attractive state subsidies In Germany, power-generating heating systems have long been recognised as an efficient, futureproof form of technology, which is why they are eligible for attractive state subsidies. Public subsidies 11,100 Comprehensive and clear: subsidy and application guidelines In the subsidies and applications guide, you will find all necessary forms for approvals and subsidies for your power-generating heating system. You will also find information about which applications must be lodged and by when, in order to meet all necessary requirements for the subsidy. The guide is available online at Fully prepared and ready to go: applications to power supply utilities and BAFA The CHP bonus is deducted directly from your electricity bill, so applications need to be sent to your power supply utility before and after commissioning. All applications, required evidence and the maintenance log in the Viessmann guide are valid throughout Germany and have been completed for you, so all you need to do is send them off. The guide also contains step-by-step instructions on completing the electronic registration form for the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). Benefits year after year: electricity subsidy and energy tax rebate The total amount of electricity must be reported to the utility by 31 December each year. It is worthwhile as the subsidy according to the German CHP Act is 8 cents/kwh for power exported to the grid and 4 cent/kwh for power consumed on site. Furthermore, under the energy tax law (EnergieStG), your energy tax payments are refunded to you at the end of the year. You'll find all the necessary information and forms in the guide. Germany's state governments and power supply utilities also offer numerous subsidy programmes. A complete overview and detailed information can be found on the internet at or by asking your Viessmann trade partner. Practical tips As a power generator, you can register as a small business.

8 Fuel cell heating appliance Vitovalor PT kw el, 0.9 to 30.8 kw th

9 8/9 A fuel cell heating appliance generates both heat and sufficient power for your home. This form of dual energy efficiency is achieved without the use of fossil fuels and so protects the environment and natural resources. Fuel cells convert natural gas into power and heat. However unlike with conventional systems, this does not involve the burning of fossil fuels. Instead, a chemical process known as "cold combustion" is used, in which hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce power and heat. Proven, reliable, durable: technology from Viessmann and Panasonic As with all innovations from Viessmann, reliability and durability are also top priorities when it comes to the fuel cell heating appliance. This is why a proven fuel cell module from Panasonic is used. Viessmann has integrated this fuel cell, proven in tens of thousands of applications in Japan, into a perfectly matched heating system with gas condensing boiler, DHW cylinder and control unit. This makes the Vitovalor PT2 fuel cell module a sustainable investment, ensuring long runtimes with a service life of more than 80,000 operating hours. Innovative heating system for modern residential buildings The Vitovalor PT2 is perfect for well insulated detached and two-family houses with a low heat demand. The fuel cell heating appliance works particularly efficiently at low return temperatures, for example, when used with underfloor heating. However, even radiators with return temperatures of up to 50 C are suitable. Natural gas: perfect for fuel cells The fuel cell uses hydrogen as its energy source. Hydrogen is sourced from natural gas, which is available almost everywhere in our infrastructure. E or LL gas can be used as required. An upstream reformer converts the natural gas into the essential hydrogen. The heat generated as a by-product of power generation is utilised efficiently for both DHW and central heating. The compact fuel cell heating appliance provides a household with heat, covers the entire power demand and, whilst doing so, saves up to 40 percent energy compared to the separate generation of heat and power. The technology creates greater independence from rising electricity prices and protects the environment at the same time by reducing CO 2 emissions by up to 50 percent compared to separate power and heat generation.

10 Fuel cell heating appliance Vitovalor PT2 Fuel cell module: 0.75 kw el, 1.1 kw th Total output: 0.9 to 30.8 kw th Thanks to an increase in thermal output to 30.8 kw, the new generation of the fuel cell heating appliance, the Vitovalor PT2, offers more flexibility and application options. The compact Vitovalor PT2 requires a footprint of only 0.72 square metres. The front-mounted control unit and pre-installed components for hydraulics and sensors complete the package. With the new 7 inch colour touchscreen, operation is considerably easier. The unit has an integral 220 l stainless steel DHW cylinder. Ideal for detached and two-family houses Up to a heat demand of 25,000 kwh per year and an annual power demand of up to 6200 kwh, the Vitovalor PT2 offers sufficient power for a detached or two-family house. The maximum amount of electrical energy generated over the course of the day (up to 18 kwh) is enough to cover the basic needs of an average household. The Vitovalor PT2 produces power for up to 45.5 hours without interruption. Following this, the fuel cell regenerates for 2.5 hours and is then available again to produce power. The integral gas condensing boiler switches on automatically when the heat generated by the fuel cell module is insufficient, such as at peak times or when a lot of hot water is required for a brief period. Anticipating your needs: self-learning energy manager The fuel cell heating appliance has a bias towards producing heat and has been optimised for power generation. The integrated energy manager is adaptive and responds to your individual requirements. This means that it only starts the fuel cell heating appliance when it is worthwhile, i.e. when sufficiently long runtimes, and therefore corresponding power generation and on-site utilisation, are expected. 10 year guarantee* 1 on stainless steel heat exchangers for oil or gas condensing boilers up to 150 kw * For conditions and product overview, see Vitovalor PT2 1 Gas condensing boiler to cover peak loads 2 Control unit for weather-compensated operation with a large colour touchscreen 3 Fuel cell module l stainless steel DHW cylinder

12 Power storage system Vitocharge Vitocharge power storage system: your declaration of independence from the power grid Combined heat and power generation often produces more electricity than a detached house needs at any particular time. The Vitocharge power storage system is therefore an ideal supplement. Generating power Generate heat Store power With the Vitocharge power storage system, self-generated power is available when needed. Prioritising independence: storing power for later use Power-generating heating systems from Viessmann produce sufficient power for a family of four. They often even generate more than required. Where that is the case, the surplus is simply stored in the Vitocharge power storage system to be drawn upon later. You currently receive up to 0.11/kWh for electricity exported directly to the grid, and pay up to 0.28/kWh for electricity drawn from it. It therefore makes great economic sense to store self-generated power. Viessmann offers power-generating heating systems and the power storage system from a single source. This means that all components are perfectly matched to one another and work with great efficiency and reliability. Short payback period, long service life: you can't go wrong Vitocharge battery modules are designed for a service life of more than 6000 charging cycles. Assuming an on-site consumption rate of over 80 percent, the payback period is less than ten years. You can then benefit from virtually free, self-generated power for a long time to come.

13 12/13 Modular storage system Different power generators and varying power consumption requirements mean that power storage units must be available in a range of sizes. This is why the Vitocharge power storage system is modular in design. A single unit can accommodate up to four battery modules, each with a storage capacity of 3.2 kwh up to 12.8 kwh in total. They are particularly straightforward to install. The battery modules slot in like drawers and start up automatically. High capacity As a single phase power storage system, the Vitocharge is designed to optimise cost effective on-site consumption. In combination with the Vitocharge, the Vitovalor PT2 provides backup during power failures. In this scenario, the system switches to mains substitution mode and continues to supply all of the electrical appliances in the home. Large and clearly laid out: the display The large screen in the programming unit displays various symbols that provide information at a glance on prevailing charging and operating conditions. One feature of particular interest to users is the display that shows when they have achieved selfsufficiency, i.e. their home is supplied without drawing additional electricity from the public grid. When this occurs, the screen shows mains consumption as 0.0 kw. Perfect team: complement the installation with a photovoltaic system As less heat is required in summer, less electricity is generated as well. In order to remain as independent of the public power grid as possible, the ideal solution is to integrate a PV system. This will cover the entire power demand in summer. The Vitocharge has a storage capacity of up to 12.8 kwh. Take advantage of these benefits Greater independence from power supply utilities and rising electricity prices Lower electricity bills thanks to optimised consumption of power generated on site Continued supply during power failure with mains substitution mode (changeover box required as an accessory) Straightforward installation thanks to preassembled unit Battery modules are simply slotted into place (Plug & Play) Individual configuration, ideal supplement to existing energy systems Charging infrastructure for electric vehicles Everything you need to know at a glance: for example, the display screen shows when power generated on site makes your home fully independent of the public grid.
