The entire installation is very simple thanks to the plug connections.
In the first step, the solar heating rod is screwed into the designated 1.5" flange in the hot water tank. After the tank has been filled with water, the photovoltaic modules are connected directly to the heating rod.
The photovoltaic modules are installed using parallel connectors. Depending on the number of photovoltaic modules connected, different parallel connectors (2-way, 3-way, 4-way) are required.
An extension cable connects the photovoltaic modules and the heating element. Several extension cables can also be combined (e.g. 10 m + 5 m = 15 m).
Set heating element
The fothermo heating rod 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 1-5 people and produces around 20,000 liters of hot water annually.
Thanks to the photovoltaic modules that are connected directly to the heating element, you can save considerable costs, especially in the summer months. Around 600-1200 kWh of photovoltaic electricity are converted into hot water each year. The heating element can be easily screwed into the existing buffer tank using the 1.5" thread.
A big advantage of the fothermo heating rod 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 550 W photovoltaic hot water system, we offer a simple and effective solution to reduce your hot water costs and save energy at the same time.
Scope of delivery:
- 1x solar heating rod
- PV modules depending on the selected number with suitable parallel connector
- 10m extension cable depending on the selected number
Installation of the heating element
Advantages
-
Reduce energy costs
Reduce your energy costs by up to €400 per year.
-
easy installation
Thanks to simple plug-in contacts, you can put the set into operation within a few moments.
-
Increase independence
Become less dependent on rising energy prices. Generate your own hot water.
