A new client contacted us to do a Solar geyser installation in Somerset West. This is in the Rome Glen area for a separate section of their house.  We also *serviced their existing solar geyser system. Our client indicated the exact positions where he wanted the solar panel and geyser to be installed.  He definitely did his homework to get the optimal benefit from the sun.

Installation of a thermosiphon system

We installed this solar geyser system as a thermosiphon system.  A thermosyphon system is when the geyser is installed higher than the solar panel and therefore ensures natural water flow.  (The system doesn’t need a pump to circulate the hot water from the panel to the geyser).  A thermosiphon system requires the lowest maintenance of all the systems – we advise our clients to contact us after 4 to 5 years to service the system.

We definitely cherish the view from this indigenous garden in Rome Glen.

This family has an indigenous garden and all their household’s hot water needs are met by the installation of solar water heaters (geysers).  This combined action ensures low electricity consumption as well as low water consumption (indigenous gardens requires little extra water).  These actions ensures savings on both water and electricity bills.
