Selected
solar heating/heat pump combination system with long-term heat storage medium
If the phrase is to be translated as a whole, "solarthermie" would break up into solar heating and system; this is how I would do the entire phrase

I think perhaps "solar thermal" is a UK usage, while solar heating is US. However it may also indicate a system where solar is used for the hot water in a home, and the heat pump is used for heating, with a special storage system serving one or both.

so it could also be: solar water heating/heat pump combination system with long-term heat storage medium
