The fothermo solar storage tank is installed like any other storage tank.
As soon as the storage tank has been set up in a suitable location and filled with water, the photovoltaic modules can be plugged in. An extension cable connects the photovoltaic modules and the boiler. Several extension cables can also be combined (e.g. 10 m + 5 m = 15 m).
Several photovoltaic modules are connected using parallel connectors. Depending on the number of photovoltaic modules connected, different parallel connectors (2-way, 3-way, 4-way) are required.
Set of standing storage tanks 200 L
The fothermo storage tank set is the perfect addition to your existing heating system (gas, oil, pellet, heat pump) for efficient hot water production. This set is ideal for households with 1 - 4 people.
Thanks to the photovoltaic modules, which are connected directly to the storage tank, you can switch off your heating almost completely, especially in the summer months, and save considerable costs.
A big advantage of the fothermo storage tank set is that it does not feed into the power grid, which is why the photovoltaic system does not have to be registered. With the 1,650 W photovoltaic heating output, the fothermo storage tank offers a simple and effective solution to reduce your hot water costs and save energy at the same time.

Reheating of water
An integrated heat exchanger allows easy connection to an existing heating system (gas, oil, pellets, heat pump). If the sun does not shine sufficiently, the hot water is generated via the auxiliary heating.
Alternatively, an electric heating element can be used for additional heating. This is screwed into the 1.5" thread on the storage tank. .

Advantages
-
Reduce energy costs
Reduce your energy costs by up to €400 per year.
-
easy installation
Simple plug connections and no mechanical components ensure easy installation and maintenance-free operation.
-
Increase independence
Become less dependent on rising oil and gas prices. Generate your own hot water.
