The GeoSolar Energy Solutions systems all comply with Eskom standards and have been approved for the Eskom rebate system.
GeoSolar Energy solutions uses the latest materials to improve the efficiency of its systems resulting in a higher Q factor Carolinek [at] geomechanics [dot] co [dot] za (
)and hence a higher Eskom rebate.
The systems supplied are direct, pumped and frost resistant. They include:
Q factor is an indication of the kWh of electricity the system is expected to save on a typical day |
• the GeoSolar flat plate collector
• a GAP geyser,
• the Geyserwise Max Differential controller and pump.
Install a GeoSolar Energy Solutions, SABS approved and locally manufactured Solar Water Heating system and qualify for the Eskom rebate programme.
The following rebates apply:
Product | Rebate |
| 200L Gap geyser and GeoSolar 2.1m2 Blue Fin Panel | R 4,677 |
| 150L Gap geyser and GeoSolar 2.1m2 Blue Fin Panel | R 4,677 |
| 150L Gap geyser and GeoSolar 1.5m2 Blue Fin Panel | R 4,677 |
In addition by installing a solar water heating system the average water heating bill can be reduced by as much as 70% (www.eskomdsm.co.za).
EXAMPLE
150l GAP geyser with a 2.1m2 Geo Solar collector
Product | IES-FP-150LD |
Geyser | 150L GAP geyser |
Collector | |
Pump | 12v pump, controller c/w battery back-up |
Equipment & Installation cost | R 14,550.02 |
Q Factor* | 19,709MJ |
Eskom Rebate applicable | R 4,677.00 |
* Q factor is an indication of the kWh of electricity
the system is expected to save on a typical day
If the typical electricity bill is R1,000 per month 30-50% of that is for water heating. Using the GeoEnergy Solutions system a saving of up to 70% of water heating cost can be made. The saving per month is approximately 35% or R350.00. It will therefore take just less than 21/2 years to pay for itself.
