The growing popularity of solar geysers in Cape Town

The use of solar energy is the future. It is going to eventually replace the current conventional energy sources as technology develops and we find better ways to make use of the energy that the sun gives us on a daily basis. While we are currently harnessing small amounts of this valuable energy source, with future developments we could possibly see the use of solar energy on a grand scale, powering whole nations.

For now solar geysers in Cape Town are changing the way in which Cape Town residents are accessing power for their water heating needs. They are even taking it one step further by installing solar panels on their roofs to provide them with power in their home. This growth in popularity in solar power is not new to South Africa. Developers in the Cape Town area are already looking to make the whole of South Africa green by creating solar panel farms that will eventually power the whole country. The aim of the project is to generate power and then to sell it back to the national power grid to save Eskom power. This dream can only be realised once the government and energy providers get on board and with the current energy crisis which is ravaging the country, funding a pricey project such as this is not being given preference over stabilising the national power grid.

The use of solar energy is nothing new, solar energy has been used by plants to create the nutrients that they need to survive, by converting the solar energy into something that can be used. The use of solar energy is a preferred method used by many people because it not only provides a reliable source of energy while saving you money, it is also one of the very few energy sources that does not pollute.

Solar geysers in Cape Town

Along with the rest of the country, Cape Town is coming quickly on-board when it comes to successfully using solar geysers. Solar geysers are designed to use sunlight to heat water for a variety of uses. Solar geysers come in three main types: direct, indirect and spilt. Direct geysers are possibly the most popular types of solar geysers because they do not have to be connected to the home or buildings electricity supply at all. This makes your heating needs completely independent of the national power supply and as such it will be saving you huge amounts of money each month. The solar geyser will be a very big investment as it will cost quite a bit to put in but the amount of money that you will save and the value that it will add to the property will make it a worthwhile investment.

Concentrating the heat, through the use of special mirrors, the clever use of natural science means that the water will move by itself up and down the pipes when it is hot. Hot water in the pipes will move up the pipes while colder water will remain in the pipes to be heated. The heated water will be stored in the tank and kept warm by the continuous introduction of hot water while in other geysers the hot water will be kept hot through the use of an element although this will generally mean that the geyser will need to be connected to the homes electricity supply.

The electricity grid makes use of the burning of coal to produce power or it can make use of petrol or diesel to generate power. These options are simply not sustainable and eventually these resources will come to an end, leaving power supply companies with no option but to find renewable energy.

Why use solar geysers in Cape Town?

The first thing that should come to mind when you are thinking about the benefits that will come along with having a solar geyser is the amount of money that you will be saving each month on your electricity bill. The savings are increased by the fact that the solar geyser is going to be low maintenance. Unless the system has a fault or unless the system is weather damaged in some way, you will not have to worry about paying more money towards your solar geyser by having to do maintenance. If the system has a fault then the company who sold it to you should cover the costs.

The solar geysers are very easy to install on your roof, or where ever else you would like to have it, which is another benefit to installing a solar geyser. The solar geyser will usually be rather small, depending on your needs, and with the expert installers you will not have to worry about the setting up of your geyser. The average household will need around 50 litres of hot water per person. Think about how much water you use each day, for bathing, cooking, and washing clothing and keeping the house clean. This should be taken into account when you are looking to buy a solar geyser.

Solar geysers are good for the planet. You don’t need to be a tree hugger to worry about the state of the planet. The health of the planet is everyone’s responsibility and as we do not have another home to go to it is highly important that we keep our planet healthy. Electric geysers will use up plenty of power in every home that has one and with every bit of electricity used up, carbon is realised into the atmosphere.
