Of course if you happen to be the proprietor of a hotel or hospitality venue, your energy bills will be astronomical and again this is where our energy harnessing systems come into their own. Most decent hotels and gym facilities offer a swimming pool and this is, without a shadow of a doubt, an intense drain on their energy resources. Our efficient solar panels are more than capable of keeping swimmers happy and warm. Similar to our solar water heating systems, they are specifically designed for the task at hand. As a company we’re committed to helping households , farms and small businesses save electricity. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a farm situated halfway up a mountainside, or a property that is in complete isolation, our panels can harness power for you wherever you may be. Our clients are giving us great references on our website here,  www.geysersmart.co.za our systems are tried and tested, so you can be assured that the system we install for you will give you years of fabulous and stable supply of hot water. Table Mountain’s lights were switched off during Earth Hour and the city of Cape Town used lanterns for lighting, this saved the world a heck of a lot of electricity, do your bit now.

Take 70% off your geyser electricity consumption immediately!

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Eskom has recently announced huge hikes in electricity costs during the next three years.  They also back the idea of solar geysers completely, emphasizing that the potential is to shave 70% off the geysers electricity consumption. There is a power back-up for overcast days.  GeyserSmart positioned themselves in the most cost effective part of the market, so that more people can afford these units,  our 300 litre which retails for about R12 000 compared to many others on the market for closer to R30 000 doesn’t even need the rebate to make it attractive to all. Eskom launched its solar water subsidy at the start of 2008, it aimed to subsidise 1 million geysers nationally over five years. But in the first two years of the subsidy’s being in place, only 2 000 households had taken up the offer.
 The number of households that have taken up Eskom’s solar water geyser subsidies has rocketed in the past month since the utility more than doubled the geyser subsidy from around R2 500 to around R7 500. This now has Eskom taking up 50% of your costs of installing your SolarGeyser.  The money to pay for the subsidies will come out of Eskom’s electricity price hikes. You will pay first but then you would apply with them for the cashback rebate.  After you paid the unit off (which you can usually do quickly from your savings each month) you have FREE hot water forever. 

About 40 to 70 percent of a household’s electricity bill goes to pay for heating the geyser. Eskom’s commitment is to get 200 000 of these installed a year, totallying  1 million over a 5 year period. According to Eskom if they save electricity by putting in a million solar water geysers, the amount of electricity would be 650MW, and this is equivalent to one third of the power generated by Koeberg’s two nuclear reactors.  If you want to pay the most reasonable price in town, plus get excellent service as well as a stable product click here Solar Panels
