Home / Assemble a set

Configure your individual set according to your wishes

Follow the step-by-step instructions to create your very own individual set.

Step 1: Choose solar boiler or solar heating rod
Step 2: 800 W surplus feed-in - Yes / No?
Step 3: Choose photovoltaic modules
Step 4: Select parallel connector
Step 5: Choose an extension cable

Step 3: Select the appropriate number of photovoltaic modules.

Depending on the product, we recommend the following number of photovoltaic modules:

  • 10 liter solar off-grid boiler: 1 photovoltaic module
  • 30 liter solar off-grid boiler or hybrid boiler: 2 photovoltaic modules
  • 80 liter solar off-grid boiler or hybrid boiler: 3 photovoltaic modules
  • 200 liter solar storage tank: 6 photovoltaic modules
  • 300 liters of solar storage: 6 photovoltaic modules
  • 550 W solar heating element: 2 photovoltaic modules

If a fothermo product is used in combination with the switching device, we recommend connecting 4 photovoltaic modules to the switching device.

If you have further questions regarding the dimensioning of photovoltaic modules, you can find detailed information HERE .

Place the appropriate number of photovoltaic modules in your shopping cart and return to this page to further configure your individual set.

Step 4: Select parallel connectors for the photovoltaic modules

Note : You can skip step 4 if you want to use the switching device. Then you do not need parallel plugs, as each photovoltaic module is connected individually to the switching device.

To connect several photovoltaic modules to a solar boiler or solar heating rod, a parallel connector is required. Depending on the number of photovoltaic modules, you will need a suitable parallel connector

1 photovoltaic module = no parallel connector
2 photovoltaic modules = 2-way parallel connector
3 photovoltaic modules = 3-way parallel connector
4 photovoltaic modules = 4-way parallel connector

Information on the freestanding storage tank : For the 200 liter or 300 liter freestanding storage tank, please note that you screw the photovoltaic modules onto 3 cables/inputs on the freestanding storage tank. So if you want to use 6 photovoltaic modules, you will need 3x 2-way parallel plugs.

Place the appropriate number of parallel connectors in your shopping cart and return to this page to further configure your individual set.

Step 5: Choose an extension cable

Now select the appropriate length of the extension cable from the photovoltaic module to the solar boiler or solar heating rod.

Info : If you need to bridge a distance of 15 metres from the photovoltaic modules to the solar boiler / solar heating rod, you can purchase a 10 metre and a 5 metre cable and plug them together during installation.

Note maximum cable length : The distance between the photovoltaic modules and the boiler should not exceed 25 meters.

Note for users of the switching device : If you want to use the switching device, you will need an extension cable from each photovoltaic module to the switching device and another extension cable from the switching device to the solar boiler / solar heating rod. Linked to an explanatory image.

Choose your extension cables and come back to this page to further configure your individual set.

Done! Congratulations. You have configured your individual set.

Now go to your shopping cart and complete the purchase. If you have any questions about your individual set, please feel free to call us or send us an email.
