A properly installed solar geyser system can reduce water-heating electricity usage by 50% to 80%, depending on household size, water usage, and system efficiency. Many South African homes experience their biggest savings from solar geysers because water heating is one of the largest contributors to monthly electricity consumption.
View installations here: Solar Geyser Installations.

Most homes can reduce their electricity bill by 40% to 90% depending on the size of the system, battery capacity, and how much daytime usage shifts to solar. Hybrid systems offer the highest savings. Learn more in our article on the true cost of going solar.

A high-quality solar geyser typically lasts 15 to 25 years, depending on water quality and maintenance. Evacuated tube systems often last longer than flat-plate systems due to fewer moving parts and better heat retention.

A premium inverter like a Deye typically lasts 10 to 15 years, with many exceeding that when installed correctly and kept in a well-ventilated area. Learn more about inverter technology here:
What is an inverter?

Modern solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. Even after their warranty period, most panels still operate at around 80% efficiency. See our article on the power and lifespan of solar panels.

A grid-tie system is ideal for daytime usage savings but does not work during load-shedding.
A hybrid solar system (solar + batteries + grid) provides full backup and flexibility.
Learn more about hybrid systems here.
For expert advice, use our accredited installers.

To size your solar system, you must calculate daytime load, nighttime usage, battery requirements, and inverter capacity. The most accurate method is a professional inspection by a qualified electrician. Book an inspection here:

Or read our guide on choosing the right inverter size.

A good guideline is:

100–150L for 1–2 people

150–200L for 2–3 people

200–300L for 3–5 people

300L+ for large households
Learn more about solar geyser sizing or view systems here:
Enerlux Solar Geyser Installations.

Basic guideline:

Up to 12m² — 9000 BTU

12–20m² — 12000 BTU

20–30m² — 18000 BTU

30–40m² — 24000 BTU

Tripping issues usually come from:
• Incorrect wiring
• Overloaded circuits
• Earth leakage faults
• Inverter misconfiguration
See our electrical tripping repair services or book a diagnostic inspection.

Every 5 to 10 years, or immediately if you notice burning smells, frequent tripping, or flickering lights. Book professional testing via our fault detection services.

Yes — when installed correctly with an ATS or manual changeover switch. Read our full guide on combining generators with solar systems.

Most homes require between 5kW and 8kW depending on appliances and peak power draw. See our guide on inverter sizing for more detail.
