INTRODUCTION
The system makes use of photovoltaic technology and a unique PTC AC/DC element to heat the water in
the geyser. This differs from traditional thermal hot water systems where water is cycled from a collector
through pipes to the geyser by either making use of a 220V Pump, 12V Pump or natural convection.
Advantages over thermal hot water systems are as follows:
Any existing geyser can be converted
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 water 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
