Solar geysers - perfect for all your hot water requirements
Installing a Solar Balance High Efficiency Solar Panel is a practical way to help reduce your monthly expense on electricity. This monthly savings from installing a solar geyser will in itself finance the cost of installing the system. Typical return on investment would be between 2 and 5 years.
A solar geyser can reduce up to 40% of your electricity bill. Our solar water heating systems are accredited by Eskom on the Solar Water Heating Rebate Programme, so you can get cash back from your installation. Our SABS Aproved High Efficiency Solar Collectors comes standard with a 10-year warranty and has a lifespan of over 20 years.
Get smart with solar - Always compare collectors and solar water heating systems in detail before purchasing.

Thermosiphon circulation relies on the natural rising of warm water. This however requires that the base of the storage tank be at least 300mm above the collector top which is not always possible in modern roofs.
Split Active uses an electronically controlled electric pump to circulate the hot water from the collectors to the storage tank.
