Abstract: The progresses of solar energy heat pump (SEHP) in China and other countries is reviewed. The system of SEHP for heating consists of solar energy collector, latent heat thermal energy storage tank, floor radiant heating and control system. The technical performance of SEHP is analyzed and the future development of SEHP in China is prospected. Some urgent problems to be resolved are discussed. SEHP can improved system thermal performance and solar energy collector efficiency to meet　the　need of heating and hot water supply of buildings by using the solar energy system and an auxiliary　heat pump system.
