Solar Geyser

Posted by admin On July - 2 - 2008
You have a regular electric geyser and realise that you can use a combination of the sun and modern technology to heat your water, but have always thought that solar is too expensive or not suitable for you. NOT at Hi Temp. We offer the most affordable solar systems in South Africa.
We recommend thats you use your existing geyser and add a solar heating system to it. When your geyser next needs replacing, then upgrade to  solar geyser. 
How the conversion works.
Using a pumped system it is possible to convert your existing geyser. You will need one conversion jet, one pump and one Photovoltaic panel and of course the Evacuated Solar Panel.
What it involves : 
  1. Mounting a frame and evacuated solar vacuum tubes on your roof. 
  2. Adding 1 conversion jet to the your existing geyser outlet. This connects the evacuated solar panel to your geyser
  3. Installing a low power  DC circulating pump to move water from the hot evacuated solar panel to your geyser.
  4. Installting the 10W Photovoltiac solar panels that produces power for the DC circulating pump.
Evacuated solar  panels are sized according to the amount of hot water usage per day and the part of South Africa where the installation will take place. This is guided by the annual sunshine received in that area. 
Radiation example : Durban has 30% less sunshine energy than Johannesburg, so would need a larger panel.
Usage example 1 : A retired couple has a 150 litre geyser and uses 2 showers per day in Cape Town. We would recommend an Evacuated Solar Panel  Model 47-1500/20 .
Usage example 2: A family of 4 has a 150 litre geyser and uses 4 showers per day in Cape Town. We would recommend an Evacuated Solar Panel model 58-1800/20.
