This paper explores the feasibility of a hybrid heat pump system, HPPV, integrating ground source heat pumps (GSHP) with photovoltaic (PV) panels for a hypothetical community in Toronto, Ontario, compared to a solar thermal absorption chiller option (STC). The two systems will supply heating and cooling loads for a hypothetical community in a heating-dominated climate, Toronto, Ontario. The simulation results for the HPPV case show that the system operates favourably from the first year and does not have significant performance degradation in 20 years. Due to the imbalance in community annual heating and cooling loads, the average ground temperature dropped 1.4 ℃ in twenty years. The seasonal COP of the heat pumps is 3.3 and 5.9 in the heating and cooling modes, respectively. It is to be noted that all heat pump electricity consumption will be delivered by PV panels employed on the community rooftops. Also, the results for the STC case reveal that the chiller functions on almost 72% and 74% of its rated capacity efficiency, respectively. Economic and emission analyses favour the HPPV system due to its lower net present cost and absence of CO2 emissions from heat pump operations, contrasting with the approximately 20 tonnes of CO2 produced annually by the STC configuration.
