Solar Geyser Systems

Solar geyser systems use solar collectors to capture heat from sunlight and transfer that heat into a water storage tank. This process allows households to generate hot water using renewable solar energy rather than relying entirely on electricity. Because water heating typically accounts for a large portion of a household’s electricity consumption, installing a solar geyser can dramatically reduce monthly energy costs.

Modern solar geyser systems are designed to operate efficiently throughout the year. During sunny days the solar collectors heat the water directly, while an electrical backup element ensures hot water remains available during cloudy weather or periods of high demand.

Enerlux supplies solar geyser systems designed for South African climate conditions, ensuring durable performance, efficient heat transfer, and reliable hot water delivery throughout the year.

High Pressure Solar Geysers

High pressure solar geysers are the most commonly installed solar water heating systems for modern homes. These systems operate directly from municipal water pressure, providing strong and consistent hot water flow similar to a traditional electric geyser. Because of this, high pressure solar geysers are ideal for residential properties with multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and higher daily hot water demand.

A high pressure solar geyser system uses solar collectors mounted on the roof to capture heat from sunlight and transfer that heat into a pressurised hot water storage tank. The heated water is stored in the insulated tank and distributed through the home’s plumbing system whenever hot water is required. When sunlight is limited, an electrical backup element ensures that hot water remains available.

Enerlux supplies and installs high pressure solar geysers designed specifically for South African conditions. These systems are built with durable tanks, efficient solar collectors, and properly insulated piping to maximise heat retention and long-term system performance.

Choosing the correct tank size is important to ensure the system can supply enough hot water for your household. High pressure solar geysers are commonly available in several capacities including:

100L solar geysers – Suitable for smaller households, apartments, or properties with low hot water usage.
150L solar geysers – Ideal for small families with moderate daily hot water demand.
200L solar geysers – One of the most popular options for residential homes with multiple occupants.
300L solar geysers – Designed for larger families or properties with higher daily hot water consumption.

High pressure solar geysers can be paired with different types of solar collectors, including evacuated tube collectors and flat plate panels. Both collector types are designed to absorb solar energy efficiently, helping reduce electricity usage for water heating throughout the year.

When properly installed, high pressure solar geysers can reduce the electricity used for water heating by a significant margin. Because water heating is often one of the largest electricity expenses in a household, installing a solar geyser can provide long-term energy savings while ensuring a reliable supply of hot water.

Low Pressure Solar Geysers

Low pressure solar geysers are commonly used in rural properties, farms, cottages, and off-grid homes where municipal water pressure may not be available. These systems operate using gravity-fed water from a header tank rather than direct municipal pressure, making them a simple and reliable solution for solar water heating in remote or low-pressure environments.

A low pressure solar geyser system typically consists of a storage tank mounted together with solar collectors on the roof. Cold water enters the system from a header tank, and as the solar collectors heat the water, natural thermosiphon circulation moves the hot water into the storage tank. Because the system relies on natural circulation rather than pumps, low pressure solar geysers are known for their durability and minimal maintenance requirements.

Low pressure solar geysers are often a cost-effective option for households that want to reduce electricity usage without installing complex pumping systems. These systems are widely used on agricultural properties, guest cottages, rural housing, and locations where simplicity and reliability are important.

Enerlux supplies low pressure solar geysers in various tank sizes to accommodate different household hot water needs. When correctly sized and installed, these systems provide dependable solar-heated hot water while helping reduce electricity consumption throughout the year.

Evacuated Tube Solar Geyser Conversion Kits

Evacuated tube solar geyser conversion kits allow an existing electric geyser to be upgraded into an efficient solar water heating system without replacing the entire tank. Instead of installing a completely new solar geyser, solar collectors are mounted on the roof and connected to the existing geyser using insulated circulation piping. This allows the system to use solar energy to heat water during the day while the electrical element remains available as a backup when required.

Evacuated tube collectors are well known for their excellent heat absorption and strong performance during colder weather, windy conditions, and cloudy days. Because each tube is vacuum insulated, heat loss is reduced significantly, allowing the collectors to maintain high water temperatures even when outside temperatures drop. This makes evacuated tube systems a popular upgrade for homeowners who want reliable solar water heating throughout the year.

Enerlux supplies evacuated tube conversion kits designed to retrofit to healthy electric geysers. Each system includes the necessary solar collectors, circulation components, insulation, valves, and temperature control equipment required to safely integrate solar heating with the existing geyser cylinder.

Upgrade your existing electric geyser using one of our evacuated tube solar conversion systems:

100L Conversion System – Suitable for single occupants, apartments, or low daily hot water usage.
150L Retrofit System – Ideal for small households with moderate hot water demand.
200L Geyser Conversion – A popular option for family homes requiring reliable solar-heated hot water.
300L Evacuated Tube Conversion – Designed for larger households or properties with higher peak hot water demand.

When properly installed, evacuated tube solar geyser conversion systems can significantly reduce electricity consumption used for heating water while maintaining dependable hot water availability throughout the year.

Flat Plate Solar Geyser Conversion Systems

Flat plate solar geyser conversion systems allow an existing electric geyser to be upgraded into a solar water heating system using durable flat plate collectors. These systems are designed to transfer solar heat efficiently into the existing geyser tank, reducing electricity usage while maintaining reliable hot water availability.

Flat plate collectors are known for their slim roof profile and robust construction. The collector panel absorbs solar radiation and transfers the heat into circulating water, which is then stored in the existing geyser cylinder. Because of their simple design and strong thermal performance, flat plate systems remain a popular option for residential solar water heating installations.

Enerlux supplies solar conversion systems that integrate safely with existing electric geysers using properly insulated piping, tempering protection, and reliable circulation components where required. When installed correctly, these systems allow households to benefit from solar heating while keeping the original geyser infrastructure in place.
