Geyser Management and Solar Systems

The substantial increase in electricity prices over the next 3 years has left SA consumers concerned whether they will be able to afford electricity in the future?  Eskom actually asked for 35% per year, but NERSA only granted Eskom a reduced hike, putting Eskom under pressure to fund the power expansion programm themselves, which is estimated to cost around R350 billion.  Renewable Energy Portfolio Manager, Cedric Worthmann said that solar energy is an obvious alternative to electricity  and it is up to South Africans to take the initiative to change their energy consuming ways.   Eskom is compensating SA consumers in allowing rebates to those who use solar energy hot water.

There are several ways to use the sun’s power to generate electricity, but solar is the most exciting. It involves using tubes to collect the sun’s rays which then provides heat which can be used to heat your geyser, the energy guzzler in your roof. The only drawback to solar power was that it was too expensive to install.  In many countries the governments are offering incentives to encourage homeowners and businesses to put solar panels on their roofs. Solar panels do not produce energy at night, but that is not a huge problem because the electricity is often most needed in the daytime, when people use their geysers. Solar energy is also used to heat pools. Costs are rapidly dropping and with the recent increase in the price of electricity in South Africa it has become a necessity.
