Solar water heaters supplied by:
SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS / SOLAR GEYSER
Solar water heaters / Solar geysers heats water from the power of the sun for the following purposes:
1 - To supply hot water in rural areas where no electricity is available.
2 - To supply hot water in town and cities where there is electricity to save on the monthly usage of this bill.
3 - To help to limit the use of electricity to save on the production of greenhouse gasses.
4 - It is law in some areas to fit solar geysers onto all new buildings. (New Cape Town By-law)

The high pressure systems are ideally suited for use in urban areas where aesthetics are important.
High Pressure Systems
High-pressure units:
These units is intended for use in town and cities with their primary aim to save the user on electricity.
Only the solar collector is mounted on the roof and the heated water is circulated to an internal water cylinder that stores
the heated water.
An electrical element is also fitted to heat the water in the absence of sunlight during cloudy days. These units are much
more suited for neat city housing where the primary function is to save electricity. The correct sizing is again very important
to ensure maximum electricity savings.
There are different system configurations to cater for different applications.
The high pressure systems are ideally suited for use in urban areas where aesthetics are important. Only the vacuum tube
collector are mounted on the roof with the hot water tank inside the roof. A special circulation pump is used to circulate the
water from the internal geyser through the collector where it is heated by the sun. This super reliable pump has no brushes
or bearings to wear, and will assure a lifetime of reliable operation. A 12 Volt, 5 watt solar module powers this pump and
therefore no electricity are required. During the day when the sun is shining, the solar module powers the pump and
circulates the water through the collector on the roof where the water is heated. On cloudy days, the panel generates less
power so the pump will run slower. At night when there is no sun to heat the water, the pump stops completely. This system
forms a well balanced self-regulating system for the unit.
A cut-out thermostat disconnects the pump at 80 degrees to limit the water temperature in the geyser. A second thermostat
inside the geyser will heat the water in the geyser with electricity if the required temperature in the geyser can not be
maintained by solar. This will ensure a reliable source of hot water that will be heated by solar as far as possible.
The ideal practice is to fit a special solar geyser in the ceiling. This will ensure optimal heat retention and efficient solar
heating. On existing installations, it is possible to convert a existing geyser for solar operation by fitting a special injecting
nozzle to the geyser.
The solar collector generates enough heat for a 150 liter solar geyser, if a bigger tank is used, two or more of these
collectors must be used.
