Choose the Right Solar Geyser System

A solar geyser should match the number of people in your home, your hot-water habits, available roof space and the plumbing already installed. We assess these factors before recommending a system.

01

Complete Solar Geyser

A complete installation with a solar storage tank, collector, mounting structure and the plumbing components required for the selected system.

02

Solar Geyser Conversion

Where the existing electric geyser is suitable, a solar collector and control components can be added without replacing the storage tank.

Check whether yours can convert →

03

Solar Geyser Repairs

Fault finding and repairs for existing solar geysers, including circulation, controllers, valves, leaks and hot-water performance problems.

SOLAR COLLECTOR OPTIONS

Flat Panel and Evacuated Tube Systems

Both technologies can heat water effectively. The correct choice depends on the property, installation layout and required output—not simply which option sounds more advanced.

FLAT PANEL

Durable, Neat and Proven

Flat plate collectors offer a clean roof profile and are commonly used for complete solar geyser installations and suitable conversion systems.

  • Low-profile collector design
  • Suitable for many residential roofs
  • Available in different collector sizes
  • Can work with compatible pumped systems
EVACUATED TUBES

High Heat Collection

Evacuated tubes provide a large collection surface and can be useful where roof space, orientation or hot-water demand influences the design.

  • Efficient solar heat collection
  • Useful for conversions and full systems
  • Individual tubes can be serviced
  • System design matched to the property
SYSTEM SIZING

100L, 150L, 200L and 300L Options

The cheapest system is not necessarily the most economical one. An undersized geyser may rely too heavily on electrical backup, while an oversized installation can add unnecessary cost.

We consider household size, daily hot-water use, roof orientation, shade, water pressure and the condition of existing plumbing before recommending a capacity.

100LCompact applications
150LSmaller households
200LGrowing families
300LHigher hot-water demand

Capacity examples are general guidance only. The correct size depends on actual usage and the selected system configuration.

SMARTER CONTROL

Add GeyserWise Control

A GeyserWise controller helps manage heating times and temperatures and, on compatible solar systems, monitors or controls the solar circulation components. It gives you clearer control over when electrical backup is used.

Temperature visibilitySee the current water temperature.
Heating schedulesSet heating times around household use.
System monitoringReceive useful operating and fault information.

WHY INSTALL SOLAR WATER HEATING?

Use the Sun for One of Your Home’s Biggest Energy Loads

Water heating can form a substantial part of household electricity use. A properly selected solar geyser uses available sunlight to heat stored water and keeps electrical backup available when required.

Lower Dependence

Reduce reliance on electrical heating during suitable solar conditions.

Hot-Water Resilience

Stored hot water remains available even when electricity supply is interrupted, subject to system conditions.

Practical Upgrade

A suitable existing electric geyser may be convertible instead of replaced.

Long-Term Value

Quality equipment and correct installation help support dependable performance.

I added a Geyserwala smart control to my two geyserwise max units I have on my two solar geysers. I noticed that one of my systems was not using the solar panel to heat so I called these guys and spoke to Barry. Barry and his team came out and it initially looked like it needed more glycol because it was on older system. We tried that and they found a massive leak in the system necessitating a replacement of the solar collectors. Since the cost differential between tubes and the glycol based is minimal I went with the tubes that they just finished installing today. Their prices were reasonable and they did great work. I would highly recommend them!

SOLAR GEYSER QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a solar geyser installation cost?

The price depends on the capacity, collector type, roof structure, plumbing layout, mounting requirements and whether you need a complete system or a conversion. We provide an itemised estimate after assessing these factors.

Can my existing electric geyser be converted to solar?

Many electric geysers can be converted, but the tank, installation position and plumbing must first be checked. If a conversion is not sensible, we will recommend an appropriate complete system.

Which is better: a flat panel or evacuated tubes?

Neither option is automatically best for every property. Roof space, orientation, system type and expected hot-water demand determine which collector is the better fit.

Will I still have hot water on cloudy days?

Solar output varies with weather and usage. Most systems retain an electrical backup element so water can be heated when solar energy is insufficient.

What size solar geyser does my family need?

The correct capacity depends on the number of users and how much hot water the household consumes. We offer 100L, 150L, 200L and 300L options and recommend a size after discussing your actual needs.

How long does installation take?

Many straightforward residential installations can be completed within a day, but timing depends on roof access, plumbing changes, the selected system and weather conditions.

Can you install a GeyserWise controller?

Yes. We install compatible GeyserWise controls for temperature monitoring, heating schedules and solar system control where applicable.

Do you repair existing solar geysers?

Yes. We investigate solar circulation problems, leaks, valves, controllers, electrical backup components and systems that are no longer heating as expected.

Is there a workmanship guarantee?

Completed installation work carries a one-year workmanship guarantee. Installed products and components remain subject to their applicable manufacturer warranties.

Do you install solar geysers outside Pretoria?

Yes. We arrange scheduled solar geyser installations in Centurion, Midrand, Fourways, Johannesburg and other Gauteng areas. Travel and appointment availability are confirmed before booking.
