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.

Closely Coupled

Closely 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 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.

Solar water heating is a great way to save the environment and your pocket! Solar water heating systems allow you to save electricity, save money and save the environment. Solar water heating uses the energy received from the sun in the form of sunlight to produce heat which is used to heat the water in your solar geyser. Solar water heating is a simple and cost effective way of reducing that electricity bill and not have to go through changes in your lifestyle to do so.

Solar water heating makes use of the sunlight received on earth during the day to heat the water. The hot water produced by a solar water heating system can be seen as ‘green’ as no carbon gases were emitted into the atmosphere in the process of generating the energy.

There are many different types and combinations of solar water heating systems on the market today. Some solar water heating systems use flat plat collectors, others use evacuated tubes solar collectors, some use solar pumps for circulation where other use a principle called thermo-siphon – where hot water rises and cold water sinks.

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.
