We have a small barn in France and wish ti install under floo heating. Do we go geothermal or is it feasable to use PV panels to power electric floor heating?

We are confused about the info on google! Very Happy

The point of any space heating is you require it during the colder less sunny times, PV will not provide enough power for under floor heating.

Even in the summer time it would not be viable you would be better using solar heated water by solar thermal panels.

But again these are not going to work when you want them most in the winter.
