power=generator, generator:source=solar, generator:type=solar_thermal_collector, generator:method=thermal, generator:output:hot_water=yes

Possibly we need an additional generator:type for domestic hot water systems as the wiki definition of solar_thermal_collector does not really encompass these. However, this is the widely used value.

There is even an earth wamth waterwell, by which they earn warmth by exchanging water from beneath. With a huge chimney like structure above the ground and 2 boilers inside a shed.

generator:source=geothermal + generator:type=heat_pump ?
