What do you guys think about a fireplace which would produce both heat and
electricity? All that is needed is to connect a thermal diode between the
inner part of a fireplace and under-floor heating pipes.
This "hybride-fireplace" could supplement ordinary solar panels; solar
panels are most effective in summer, a fireplace is used mostly during
winter.
If you are not familiar with "thermal diode", here are two links:
