Connecting the photovoltaic modules is very cost-effective, as no electrician is required to set them up. And as no electricity is fed into the grid, the photovoltaic system does not require registration. As no mechanical components are required to operate the boiler, the photovoltaic boiler is also almost maintenance-free.
