Solar System

Many people around the globe are looking into alternate sources of energy with the latest increase in the awareness around global warming and the calls to cut carbon emissions and carbon footprints. There are many ways to decrease your carbon emissions and a very effective way for the home to do so is to install a solar geyser.

A solar geyser uses energy received from the sun to heat water for use in your home. On average, a solar geyser uses 60% to 80% less electricity than a normal electric geyser which means you use less ‘dirty’ energy which reduces the size of your carbon footprint.

So how do I get a solar geyser? Well there are many solar geyser providers in South Africa but a few things to look out for are the cheap and inferior systems as they will more than likely not last the first hail storm or the a icy winters morning.

The interest in solar heating has really taken off in South Africa in a big way and sales seem to be picking up as the price of electricity in South Africa soars and the price of solar water heating systems drop. Solar heaters can reduce your home’s carbon emissions by as much as 1.6 tonnes per year helping your home be more environmentally friendly.

Eskom are offering rebates on accredited solar water heating systems which range from R2000 to R4500. These rebates are claimed back directly from Eskom prior to the completion of the installation. Suppliers accredited on the solar water heating programme need to meet strict criteria in terms of quality of product and installation.

We will help you locate a solar geyser provider in your area who is Eskom accredited which means that their systems have passed the required SABS test ensuring quality and performing solar geyser products.
