..."One" is the in-house sales department itself. The argument given is that with a solar-supported gas heating system it is possible to save energy and also operate panel radiators.
That is not an argument "pro" gas, but can also be realized with other heat generators. Moreover, solar thermal systems in single-family houses are mostly uneconomical.
...Why a gas tank? I have to have an energy storage container if one is not connected to the city network.
So no natural gas possible or connection available?
...Excuse me, could you express yourself a bit more colloquially? What is meant by modulation performance level and cycling in part-load operation?
Every heat generator is designed according to the calculated standard heating load. This takes into account the extreme case because one does not want to be cold even under unfavorable conditions. However, this case only applies to fractions of the annual heating energy work. Mostly, a heat generator runs in part-load operation, i.e., as the outdoor temperature increases, the power demand decreases. A widely modulating device can adapt to this within limits. If not, => On/Off operation (cycling). The overall efficiency and lifespan suffer partly significantly as a result. With liquefied gas, the lowest performance level is higher due to the higher energy content, thus significantly less favorable compared to natural gas.
