what is
Geyserwise?
Geyserwise has developed a revolutionary solar geyser system that is not only more efficient than conventional solar geysers but can be installed in less than half the time it would take to install a split pumped solar system with a traditional flat plate or evacuated tubes collector. Also, the initial capital layout is less than half that of a conventional solar geyser. This system uses a PTC (Positive Temperature Co-efficient) dual AC and DC Stainless steel element expected to last in the region of 10 years. It has been proven that even with the AC back upon, this element is up to 30% more efficient than an electric immersion heating element.
This system makes for easy conversion of literally any existing electrical geyser out there, to solar. It uses PV technology with the use of a specifically designed MPPT (maximum power point tracker) to maximize the output of your PV panels/solar panels to the element. Real-time system performance is monitored on the system controller display which can be installed anywhere in your home that suits your needs, from this controller you can set the AC backup timer, set the maximum water temperatures and set your geyser to holiday mode if you will be away for a couple of days.
One of the most important factors consumers can benefit from include that the installation of this system does not void your geyser warranties by the manufacturer. The system has been approved by the likes of Kwikot, Heat Tech, Duratherm, and many more. It might be equally important to note that this system is SABS approved. The SABS certificate and letters from other geyser manufacturers can be downloaded from the specifications tab. There are kits available from 100Litres to 200Litres with both AC & DC Power supply. However, for 50Litre geysers, the standard dual function element does not fit inside the geyser and therefore only the 900w DC Element can be installed on these geysers.
