Accessories

In the Fothermo Accessories category, you’ll find practical components for photovoltaic hot water solutions that complement or expand your existing system. Accessories for the direct use of solar power to heat water are particularly in demand—such as PV heating elements for retrofitting existing hot water boilers or compatible connection solutions for operation with a battery or grid power.

Fothermo stands for hassle-free hot water heating with photovoltaics. These accessories help you convert solar energy into heat as directly and efficiently as possible. This allows you to effectively integrate existing hot water storage tanks, expand current systems, or set up a self-sufficient solution for a garden shed, vacation home, tiny house, RV, or off-grid applications.

Photovoltaic Heating Elements for Hot Water Boilers

A Fothermo heating element is ideal if you want to retrofit an existing hot water boiler or storage tank with photovoltaics. The solar heating element uses the generated PV electricity to heat the water and can therefore be a simple way to make good use of excess solar energy. This solution is particularly appealing for anyone who wants to generate hot water independently, efficiently, and without complex system technology.

Accessories for Flexible Energy Sources

With the right Fothermo accessories, you can operate your hot water system more flexibly. A battery cable allows you to connect compatible Fothermo water heaters to a suitable battery. A power supply unit (PSU) or charger can also be used to heat the water heater via the electrical grid when needed. This ensures your system remains practical for everyday use, even when there isn’t enough solar power available.

Fothermo Accessories for Off-Grid, Camping, and Self-Sufficient Systems

Fothermo accessories are particularly useful for mobile and off-grid applications. When combined with solar panels, a battery, and compatible connection components, you can set up hot water solutions for camping, weekend homes, garden sheds, or self-sufficient PV systems. The components are designed to make solar power usable as directly as possible and to keep the setup straightforward.
