Humans have been using solar power for many years to heat up their water, light up their homes and for general low-voltage applainces. Solar power energy is now more easily accessible to the public than ever before, and millions of people around the world are installing solar geysers in their homes in order [...]
Continue Reading →Solar water heating is gaining popularity all over the world due to the many benefits it offers and because it is relatively inexpensive and easy to install.
There are many areas in a normal home that can benefit from solar power and one in particular is the heating of water as [...]

Solar water heating & how a Solar Geyser works
Solar geysers are built on two basic principles of physics: dark coloured objects absorb heat, and hot water rises.
[...]
As with a conventional geyser, the hot water storage container in a solar geyser is thermally insulated to retain heat.
Solar geysers are usually larger than electric geysers and better insulated. This allows you to maximise your solar gains.
Solar geysers can be linked to existing geysers or can completely replace [...]
There are two main types of collectors used in Solar Geysers: flat-plate collectors and vacuum tube collectors.
A flat-plate collector has a transparent cover made of specially toughened glass, a coated metal absorber plate (coating is usually matt black paint), and a well-insulated weatherproof casing. Flat plate collectors are robust, economical, and [...]
Wherever you go these days, you see something about solar energy, on TV, the newspapers, magazines and many other mediums. Whether you’re talking about solar panels, solar gadgets, solar geysers or solar pool heaters – advertisers are increasingly trying to get our attention to renewable energy. But what’s the big deal? Is it [...]
