Mr. Stübing and family: Happy users of the fothermo 300 litre solar st

Our family, consisting of my wife, our three children and me, lives in a cozy single-family home. After our old drinking water tank rusted through and finally became unusable after around 20 years of faithful service, we were faced with the decision of finding a suitable and future-proof solution for hot water supply. After extensive research, we chose the 300 liter solar storage tank from fothermo - and that was one of the best decisions we have made in recent years.

Installation – Simple and Efficient

Replacing the defective storage tank with the new fothermo solar storage tank was straightforward. Thanks to the professional work of our heating engineer, dismantling the old storage tank and installing the new device only took one day. At a cost of 900 euros, the replacement was within budget both in terms of time and money. What surprised us in a particularly positive way was the fact that installing the new storage tank was just as simple as with a conventional storage tank - no special adjustments were necessary.

Photovoltaics – self-installed and ready for immediate use

As a handy do-it-yourselfer, I decided to take on the installation of the photovoltaic modules myself. I installed a total of six modules with a total output of 2580 Wp on the flat roof of our carport. The connection was child's play and after just a short time we were able to convert the first rays of sunshine into hot water.

Summer half-year – free hot water for the whole family

We are particularly impressed by the performance of the fothermo solar storage tank in the summer months. Our family of five is completely supplied with free hot water during this time. The gas boiler, which is normally responsible for heating water, can remain almost completely switched off in the summer months. This not only saves us energy costs, but also resources - a real plus for environmentally conscious people like us.

Winter half-year – Efficient support of the gas boiler

Even in winter, the solar storage tank reliably supplies hot water, albeit in smaller quantities than in summer. If it is not enough, our gas boiler automatically takes over the additional heating. The intelligent control by the temperature sensor of the gas boiler ensures that the water temperature in the storage tank always remains pleasantly warm. This interaction of solar energy and gas boiler gives us the security of never having to take a cold shower - a luxury that my wife and children particularly appreciate.

Maintenance-free – Another plus

Another major advantage of the fothermo system is that it is maintenance-free. Unlike conventional solar thermal systems, there are no mechanical components that could wear out, and the risk of frost or overheating damage is completely eliminated. The system is robust, reliable and easy to use - perfect for our needs.

Conclusion – satisfaction across the board

In summary, we can say that we are more than satisfied with our fothermo 300 liter solar storage tank. The simplicity and robustness of the system convinced us, and the possibility of enjoying a long, hot shower at any time with a clear conscience is something we are all particularly pleased about. We invested 4,400 euros in the entire system and installation - an investment that was definitely worth it for us. We can recommend the fothermo solar storage tank to anyone who is looking for a sustainable and uncomplicated solution for hot water preparation.

We are happy to have taken this step and look forward to many more years with our fothermo storage system.
