Solar Geyser FAQs

A solar geyser can reduce your electricity bill by 30-50%, saving R600-R1,200 per month depending on your hot water usage. In South Africa, water heating accounts for about 40% of household electricity use, making solar geysers one of the best investments.
As a rule of thumb: 50 litres per person. A family of 4 needs about 200L. Single person or couple: 100-150L. Family of 3-4: 200L. Family of 5+: 300L or more. Consider your hot water habits - bathing vs showering, simultaneous usage, etc.
Solar geyser prices in 2026: 100L systems: R8,000-15,000. 150L systems: R12,000-22,000. 200L systems: R15,000-28,000. Installation adds R3,000-8,000. Total installed cost for a 200L system: R20,000-35,000.
Yes, solar geysers work in winter but are less efficient due to shorter days and lower sun angle. A good quality system will still provide 60-80% of your hot water in winter. Most systems have an electric backup element for cloudy periods.
Most solar geysers include an electric backup element (2kW) for cloudy days and high demand periods. In South Africa's sunny climate, you may rarely need it. Some people connect the element to a timer to only run during off-peak hours or load shedding-free periods.
A quality solar geyser lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance. The collector (panels/tubes) typically last longer than the tank. Warranties usually cover 5-10 years. Annual maintenance is recommended to maximize lifespan.
