Solar boiler instead of electric boiler - save 75% on electricity costs

The fothermo solar hybrid boiler reduces hot water costs by up to 75%. For a 2-3 person household, this is often around €350 per year. The hot water is generated by directly using the electricity from the photovoltaic modules.

Efficient hot water comfort: How the 80-litre hybrid solar boiler from fothermo replaces the classic electric boiler

In a world where sustainability and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important, many homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their energy costs while protecting the environment. One of the most innovative solutions on the market is fothermo's 80-litre hybrid solar boiler, which can easily replace conventional electric boilers. But what makes this solar boiler so special, and what advantages does it offer over a classic electric boiler?

1. Enormous savings in energy costs

The most compelling advantage of the fothermo hybrid solar boiler is its potential to reduce energy costs. With this system, up to 75% of the energy required to produce hot water can be covered by photovoltaic modules. In concrete terms, this means that only a quarter of the energy needs to be taken from the power grid. Spread over the year, the savings can be enormous - especially at times when electricity prices are constantly rising.

A traditional electric boiler, which relies entirely on electricity, places a significant burden on the household budget, especially when energy consumption is high. The hybrid solar boiler, on the other hand, uses the free energy of the sun, thus reducing dependence on mains electricity, which has a direct impact on monthly electricity bills.

2. Optimal insulation for minimal heat loss

Another advantage of the fothermo hybrid solar boiler is its excellent insulation. Many older electric boilers are poorly insulated, which leads to significant heat losses. These losses must constantly be compensated for with additional energy, which drives up electricity consumption.

In contrast, the fothermo solar boiler is equipped with state-of-the-art insulation that reduces heat loss to a minimum. This means that the water stays warm for longer without the boiler having to constantly reheat. This not only contributes to lower energy consumption, but also extends the life of the device.

3. Independence from rising electricity prices

The continuously rising electricity prices represent a growing burden for many households. With a conventional electric boiler, you are at the mercy of the price fluctuations on the electricity market. The hybrid solar boiler from fothermo offers a valuable alternative by obtaining a large part of the energy required from a stable and sustainable source - the sun.

This independence from external electricity suppliers not only gives homeowners more control over their energy costs, but also makes them less vulnerable to future price increases. In times when energy prices are unpredictable, switching to a solar boiler offers a high degree of security and planning convenience.

4. Short payback period: An investment that pays off quickly

Another key advantage of the fothermo hybrid solar boiler is the short payback period. Thanks to the high savings in energy costs, the boiler can fully pay for itself after just 3 to 5 years.

With annual savings of around €350 due to lower electricity consumption, it is easy to see how quickly this investment pays off. The payback period is even more impressive if a new boiler has to be purchased anyway. In this case, the payback period is only 2 to 3 years - an extremely short period of time, which makes the decision to go for a solar boiler even easier.

Conclusion

The 80-litre hybrid solar boiler from fothermo is an excellent investment for anyone who wants to reduce their energy consumption, lower their costs and at the same time contribute to the environment. By combining solar energy and efficient insulation, it outperforms classic electric boilers in almost all relevant areas. Anyone who wants to become independent of rising electricity prices and at the same time benefit from the advantages of modern technology should consider switching to a solar boiler. The long-term savings, the short payback period and the environmental benefits clearly speak in favour of this step.
