This is post 4 of 10 in the series “Solar Geyser Starter Guide” Even though Integral Collector Storage Systems share familiar elements of design and functionality with flat-plate Solar Water Heater geysers, there are some differences. In fact, ICS (also referred to as batch or bread box) systems are a little less complicated. Where the […]
This is post 3 of 10 in the series “Solar Geyser Starter Guide” Among the cheap ways to bring down the high costs associated with a geyser, timers have to be among the most popular. In the following article you are going to learn some scary things about your geyser, especially how it’s increasing the […]
This is post 2 of 10 in the series “Solar Geyser Starter Guide” The electric geyser is such a natural part of the home that South Africans rarely think about it. We only really notice it when there’s no hot water, and we unwillingly accept the fact that it pushes the electricity bill higher than […]
This is post 1 of 10 in the series “Solar Geyser Starter Guide” Solar water heating isn’t something new in South Africa. In fact, it’s one of the first steps people take towards transforming their homes into a more energy efficient setting. As all South Africans know by now, the geyser takes an immense amount […]
One thing everybody should understand about making their home more energy efficient is that it’s a process. These are small changes you can make that work toward a bigger goal. But only implementing one or two new elements and expecting substantial results, will lead to a very discouraging place. Whereas a bunch of small changes […]
For everyone who wants to know what real independence feels like, an off-grid solar power system just might be your ideal setup. Of course, it’s not something you decide overnight. But the idea of splitting ways with Eskom gets more appealing with every passing day. Even though this is the type of system people only […]
There is one thing most people in the world have in common, namely a budget. South Africa is no exception to the rule, especially at this point in time. Too much instability leads to increased expenses, and for some reason, things never seem to get cheaper, even when things are going well. But strangely enough, […]
Business owners are well aware of how much electricity costs. In fact, they know it better than anyone, because their monthly expenses are incredibly high. Wouldn’t it be nice to get electricity from a source that doesn’t cost you any money? More specifically, wouldn’t it be nice to have a solar generator kit to keep […]
Solar geyser prices, if South Africans are forced to be anything, then it’s to be realistic. We can’t look past the dire situations we face regarding Eskom. And truthfully speaking, there’s no avoiding the fact that electricity prices will increase indefinitely. The only option we have is to seek alternative sources of power, seeing as […]
There’s a good reason why people don’t typically take their generators along on a camping trip. Firstly, it’s not something that was designed for portability. The bigger the generator, the bigger the AC output, the bigger the moving problem. Then of course there’s the noise. As great as generators might be, they do get irritating […]
