Easy to install

The installation of the photovoltaic heating rod is child's play. The heating rod is simply screwed into the commercially available 1.5" flange of your hot water storage tank, and the PV modules are connected in parallel via simple plug-and-play MC4 connections. The heating process begins immediately, and since complicated wiring has been avoided and the voltage level is below 50 V, no electrician is needed for installation. The heating rod is also easily combinable with the Fothermo switching device (MPN: SWD-1600).

Hot water supply through solar power

Especially in summer, you can do without inefficient gas or oil heating. Instead, enjoy your environmentally friendly shower heated by the sun, and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. Thanks to the innovative MPP tracker, you secure 50% higher yields, even in bad weather. The heating rod allows the connection of up to 2000 Wp photovoltaic power, while the maximum heating power is 550 W. This means that the hot water supply for a 2-person household during the summer half-year can be almost completely covered at a maximum water temperature of 65°C in drinking water systems or 85°C in descaled heating systems.
