Closely Coupled vs Split Systems


Closely Coupled

Closely Coupled Solar Water Heating SystemClosely coupled systems are the solar water heating systems where both the tank (geyser) and solar collector are on the building’s roof. The tank is typically mounted horizontally above the solar collector. In some instances, the solar collector and tank are integrated to form one structure.

The water in a closely coupled system is heated by the solar collector and circulated into the tank using a principle called thermo-siphon. In short, thermo-siphon uses the property where hot water rises and cold water sinks.

Split Systems

Split solar water heating systemSplit solar water heating systems allow for the tank to be placed inside the roof – improving the aesthetics of the solution. Split solar water heating systems either use thermo-siphon or pumping to circulate the water within the solar water heating system.


Green Homes | Solar Water Heating


Green Homes are homes that employ principles to run the home in a way that is friendly to the environment. Many different things can be done to build a green home, or convert your existing home into a green home. One of the products that can be used to help turn your home into a Green Home is a solar water heating system – also know as a solar geyser.

A solar water heating system will reduce the amount of ‘dirty’ electricity that you use to heat the water in your geyser. By dirty electricity I mean electricity that is generated by burning fossil fuels which produce carbon emissions.

Solar Water Heating | Eskom Rebate | Going Green


Solar water heating is the ideal choice when going green as you can cut your electricity bill by up to 50% in one go! Solar water heating has been around for many years in South Africa and the industry saw a small boom in the 80’s and it has only really taken off again since mid 2007. The reason why solar water heating is booming again is that there is a massive power shortage in South Africa and the national power utility is now promoting solar water heating and offering rebates on accredited solar water heating systems. Going green has also become the fashionable thing to do given the global warming crisis we are facing. The Eskom rebate on solar water heating systems helps you reduce the total cost of the solar water heating system and improve the payback.
