With the introduction of the new Eskom tariff hikes the cost of electricity becomes a real part of the operating expenses of any private home or commercial institution.

The next few pages will show how solar energy can be used to reduce your electricity consumption. But also provide further independence from Eskom.

Our supplier is registered with the Eskom Rebate Program and has undergone SABS testing.

Solar water heating

Solar Geyser technology has improved dramatically in the past 4 Years with the advent of Vacuum Tubes. The secret behind high efficiency solar water heating is the quality and design of the vacuum tubes and the heat exchanging manifold.

Selective three coating vacuum tube

All Vacuum tubes seem to be the same but the efficiency and the inner tube film coating technology determines performance. Our manufacturing partner adopted a new graded coating technology raised the heat collection by more than 12% on traditional vacuum tube solar panels. During summer, very high temperatures of up to 248°C can be accommodated by our special stainless steel aluminium nitride layer, without degradation of the film on the inner tube.

In icy winter conditions the inner copper mirror with it low reflectance drastically reduces heat loss while producing high collection results. The Free POWER High Efficiency Solar Panel has a high absorption rating of 92% while reflection is reduced by 65%, thereby increasing heat by 12%. The increased efficiency of 12% means more hot water!

Unlike most other brands, which have 1.6mm or 2.0mm outer glass tubes, these vacuum tubes have 2.25mm (±0.05mm) outer tubes for superior toughness and hail resistance.

Our system has been tested by SABS for use in South Africa.

We have also qualified for an R 6525 rebate for a 200L system as part of the Eskom energy saving project.
