Hot water from photovoltaics
Simple – Clean – Efficient
Hot water from solar energy was previously only known from solar thermal systems. These are relatively complicated and maintenance-intensive systems that work inefficiently, especially in the transitional period and in winter.
On the other hand, photovoltaics is a relatively power generation expensive technology. That's not anymore true today. On the contrary: photovoltaic modules are now much cheaper than thermal collectors.
Today you can produce hot water much cheaper from photovoltaics than with a comparable solar thermal system or with conventional heating systems.
Our principle allows you to use your self-generated solar power in the best possible way in your own home. Because electricity can do a lot - and generating heat works very well - preferably directly.

We call this principle "cables instead of pipes". |
