PV Solar Geysers
PV Solar Geysers
Unlike traditional thermal solar geysers, where water is cycled from a collector through pipes to the geyser by using either a circulation pump or natural convection, the Geyserwise system makes use of photovoltaic technology and a unique PTC AC/DC element to heat the water in the geyser.

How does it work?
The traditional element and thermostat of your existing geyser is replaced with the new dual PTC AC/DC element – this means the element can use DC (PV Solar panels) or AC (Eskom/Grid) electricity to heat up the water.
The PV solar panels generate DC electricity during the day, this DC power directly supplies the 900W DC element that heats the water in the geyser.
Thus no Eskom/Grid electricity is used to heat up your water during the day. For late-night, early morning, or when additional hot water is required the AC (Grid/Eskom) powered element is controlled by the TSE Geyserwise controller and consumer unit. There are multiple timers that can be set, and a manual heating function is also available.
Advantages over thermal hot water systems are as follows…
* Any existing geyser can be converted
*Solar panels have a life expectancy of 20+ years
* No additional plumbing is required
* No pumps necessary to circulate water
* No risk of damaged panels in frost prone areas
* The water temperature can be controlled on very hot summer days – reduced risk of overheating problems
* Suitable in all weather conditions
* Suitable in areas where the geyser is not situated near the panels
* Modular system – can be expanded to build an off-grid power system for the home
