Customer Statement

"I implemented my hot water project last year and I must say that I am very satisfied with it. I have a PV system from SMA and an AC•THOR from my-PV. The integration of the AC•THOR into the system went smoothly, and I can easily view consumption data here.
For my existing heat pump, I specifically separated the electric heating element (electrically disconnected from the heat pump) and connected it to my PV system via the AC•THOR. Since I started heating my hot water with solar electricity, the heat pump has never turned on again. I can honestly say that my entire hot water demand is now provided by the sun. I have already recommended the my-PV product several times," sums up Hermann Saurer.
