10 GOOD REASONS TO GO SOLAR WITH YOUR GEYSER
The only remaining question is: Why not?
There is simply no reason not to install a solar geyser. Here are ten reasons to contact oneSolar today to begin the process of changing over to a greener and more cost-effective hot water option:
| 1 |
It is good for the environment. Every geyser heated with solar saves the world 1956kg of CO2 per year. Alternatively one could spare the environment 1080kg of coal, 2800 litres of water and 320kg of ash that is typically generated per year. |

It makes perfect financial sense. If you finance your solar system through your home-loan your payment to the bank will be less than what you save every month on your electricity bill. This makes it a zero difference on your monthly cash flow or an approximate 20% return on investment if you pay for your system with cash. Besides that, you will also increase the value of your house. |

You can save on future costs. Electricity prices increase four fold over the next five years according to SESSA. |
|
| 4 |
You can use your current geyser and get it connected to the solar panel. When your geyser later bursts or is simply too old, then it’s time to replace it – a solar water heating system is the only reliable, renewable option. This gives you the chance to get the lifetime out of your current geyser and still start to go solar immediately. |
|
| 5 |
It looks smart. There is no need for unsightly geysers on the roof or unattractive and cheap panels. |
|
| 6 |
The solar water heating technology is proven. There are products on the market that have been tested for many years in all weather conditions, ensuring the utmost in quality. |
|
| 7 |
Solar power is recognised as an effective solution, even by government. Eskom has allocated R2 billion in solar water heater incentives. |
|
| 8 |
Your geyser is responsible for 42% of your electricity bill. It’s the appliance in your house with the biggest impact on your consumption. |
|
| 9 |
It’s an excellent investment. The savings on your electricity bill pays your system off in two to three years. |
|
| 10 |
It uses natural energy sources. When the sun shines you will most probably be able to switch the electrical backup unit completely off – running all your hot water purely on solar power. |
The only remaining question you need to ask now is: why not? Contact oneSolar to find out how solar geysers and other heating products can help you turn to a greener and more affordable way of life.
