Is there a max INPUT temp for a combi?

Slightly theoretical question. Am thinking that you could use a secondary source e.g. wood burner stove or solar cells to heat a tank of water. If this was pressurised with a balance tank rather than vented this could then be the feed straight to a combi. Thus hot water all the time at the correct temperature but reduced running costs.
But would the combi have e.g. some safety device against this?

Any thoughts appreciated.....

check with your boiler manufacturer,preheating with solar panels is certainly OK with some models

most of the big boiler makers are pushing solar heating really hard at the moment, went on a course at vaillant recently and they were quoting 6000 for a solar panel and hot water tank with installation.
