Vincent, a graphic designer living on the outskirts of Nantes, shares his positive experience with Dualsun’s new innovation, a smart solar water heater.

This father of three lives in a 115 m² house. He is fully committed to reducing his energy bills while adopting a sustainable lifestyle.

His home, previously equipped with a conventional electrical system, had annual bills of around €1800. With his house facing south, ideal for solar power, and thanks to an energy audit conducted by the Soliha association, Vincent undertook a package of works including the installation of a wood-burning stove and Dualsun hybrid solar and photovoltaic panels.

His investment was supported by grants covering 50% of the costs. Today, he has achieved his goal of 50% energy savings.

Dualsun: quality and expertise

Vincent opted for Dualsun, a brand recommended by his installer. He was won over by the company’s reliability, the quality of the hybrid panels assembled in France, and their ability to optimize the space available on his roof.

The installation, carried out with great care by a partner installer, comprises 12 Dualsun solar panels:

  • 6 SPRING4 hybrids
  • 6 photovoltaic FLASH
  • A smart solar water heater

Together, they simultaneously produce electricity and domestic hot water, for a total output of 6 kWp.

The smart solar water heater: a groundbreaking innovation from Dualsun

The smart solar water heater, a genuine innovation on the market, reinvents energy management, making Vincent one of the very first users of this revolutionary technology. Unlike anything else on the market today, this smart solar station enables real-time monitoring not only of electricity production, but also of thermal management – an unprecedented advance in the field of hybrid solar energy.

Equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, it analyzes household needs, weather forecasts and solar output to optimize hot water production. This intelligent management maximizes self-consumption and further reduces energy bills. For Vincent, it’s a real revolution: “This level of control is impressive. This solar water heater

 

“During the installation, the technicians gave me a detailed explanation of how the new intelligent solar water heater works. I was impressed by its intelligence: it anticipates our hot water needs according to our consumption and the weather. The mobile application allows me to easily track and manage our hot water and electricity production.” Vincent
