Premium Solar Water Heating Systems
We offer a range of geysers, from in-roof to integrated systems, we ensure you always have hot water.
Traditional high-pressure geyser installed in the roof. Electrically heated as standard, with the option to connect a flat panel solar collector. Ideal for 1 to 2 person households.
Mid-range in-roof system for families of 3 to 4. Runs on electricity with the flexibility to connect a flat panel solar collector, reducing your reliance on the grid.
Our largest in-roof system for families of 4 to 6. Electrically heated with flat panel solar collector compatibility for households that want the option to go solar.
Compact all-in-one design. Collector and stainless steel tank in one elegant unit. Minimal roof space, maximum simplicity.
Architecturally clean and easy to install. The sweet spot for integrated systems in medium-sized households.
Large-capacity integrated unit for bigger families. One clean installation, with collector, stainless steel tank and fittings combined.
Rugged outdoor geyser built for camping and off-grid use. Heats water rapidly using a fire-based burner, delivering reliable hot water wherever the adventure takes you.
The difference in collectors
Both collector types are used to harness solar energy for water heating. The right choice depends on your location, roof, current system, and priorities.
Evacuated tubes contain practically no water, so they can resist freezing conditions.
The curved shape of the tubes allows thermal absorption from a greater range of sun angles, and therefore for a greater portion of the day.
Tubes permit high heat retention, so much of the heat collected during the day can be retained during overcast days and through the night.
Tubes fit independently in the header pipe and can be individually removed and replaced without decommissioning the entire system.
Tubes provide lower aerodynamic drag, as air can run around them, reducing wind drag in high wind locations.
Work exceptionally well on cloudy and overcast days.
The large bore header-pipe ensures reliability in hard water (high calcium hardness).
Low profile design integrates cleanly into rooftops, making them a popular choice where appearance is a priority.
Solid, tempered glass cover is robust against hail and physical impact. No individual tubes to break or replace.
Highly effective in strong, direct sunlight conditions typical of South Africa's interior regions.
Easy to clean and maintain with a minimal number of components.
Decades of reliable field performance make flat plate systems a well-understood, dependable choice.
Generally a lower-cost entry point for solar water heating without sacrificing quality or performance.
The full-coverage absorber plate maximises energy capture across the entire panel surface.
The Good to Know
The Correct System Size
The size of your system will depend on average household hot water consumption. As a general rule, you will need approximately 30L– 75L per person in your household.

The Collector System
Solar collectors are one of the key components of any solar hot water system. Choosing the right collector type ensures the best performance for your specific location and conditions.
Sleek and durable. Best suited to high direct sunlight areas and installations where rooftop aesthetics matter.
Outstanding performance on overcast days and in colder regions. Works across a wider range of sun angles.
