As has been said a few times here, an accumulator tank as large as possible (min 700l @ 50l/kw from the BBU), use that to heat an unvented cyl and heating zones. Put the solar output through an immersun or similar to divert any extra energy into the unvented cyl.

Don't forget the Back End Protection / Load Unit on the solid fuel boiler... Not only for protection but also to make sure you are getting only high grade heat pushed to the accumulator. Nothing worse than pushing warm water to the top of a tank and effectively destratifying the thing.

Remember your safety controls, overheat stats etc to make sure that everything is as safe and efficient as possible.

I fitted a system in a converted pub with a brosely Hercules multi fuel stove 22kw bbu output into a 1000 litre open vent buffer using a load valve with a 210 unvented cyl for hot water the system was 12 large rads and works well the customer ordered the buffer and valve from these people https://kotly.com.pl/index.html?l=en. Took a while to arrive but good quality and reasonably priced
