Electric geysers consume the most electricity in the typical home. The Solar Geyser uses heat from the sun to provide free hot water at all times. Perfect for businesses, homes, and industry.

Type of system:
1. Indirect

In an indirect system there is an additional heat exchange process. A heat transfer medium (HTM) is heated by the sun in a tube or a panel and then the heat is transferred in the geyser to the water. The heat transfer medium (HTM) is normally water with antifreeze. This is done in areas where the temperature sub zero for more than 4 or 5 hour a day or where a significant amount of impurities are in the water like lime.

2. Direct

In a direct system the water that will be consumed is heated in the tube or panel and stored in the geyser. This system is a little simpler and easier to install.

Solar collector
1. Panel


The panel heat coated aluminium that absorbs the heat from the sun and transfers it to copper tubing. The HTM or water is heated in the copper tubing. The hot water rises to a collector at the top of the panel and is then taken to the geyser.

2. Vacuum tubes

                     
A vacuum tube consists of two glass tubes made of high impact glass [similar to Pyrex] fused together. The space between these two tubes is an hermetically sealed vacuum which insulates the tube against heat loss. The inner tube is coated with black selective coatings [heat absorbent] on the outside. These coatings absorb solar energy, and transfer it to the copper pipe in the centre that heats the manifold at the top. The water is heated in the manifold.

Benefits:

* Solar Geysers are big money savers.
* As most people know, geysers are one of the biggest electricity
   users in any home. By using the abundance of sun in South Africa,
   it only makes sense to use it to provide free hot water.
* They are expensive to buy and install, but, they pay themselves
   back within 3 years.
* Once you install a solar geyser, you immediately start saving
   on your monthly electricity bill – this saving will take anything
   between 1.5-3 years to catch up with the capital expenditure,
   thereafter, you have free hot water!


Installations:

* When installing the solar geyser, you have 2 options: Normal On-Roof
   installation OR In-Roof.
* All panels have to face North for efficiency.
* The panels have to be lower than the geyser component.
* With a normal on-roof installation, a custom made bracket
   keeps the system in place on top of the roof, either a flat
   roof OR a pitched roof.
* In-Roof installation can be tricky and one of our installers will
   have to determine whether it's possible or not. Sometimes, it's
   impossible to fit the geyser into the roof.
* Normal On-Roof installations cost R1500.00, which includes
   4m piping and pipe insulation, while In-Roof installations cost R2550.00,
   including 4m ;piping and pipe insulation.
* Extra piping will have to be quoted for individually.
* Installations take 1 day to complete.

 All installations are done by accredited installers
