One of our accredited installers fitted 4 x 6tube (u-tube) solar thermal collectors to a customers existing geysers in Midrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. We also changed the old shower heads to our new energy efficient range.

Here is an example of a fairly large commercial solar thermal project being undertaken in Canada. The question is, when the writing is writ so large, that energy in South Africa will be an issue in the future, why are commercial customers so slow to adapt? Saves money and the environment!

Greencon Solar Tech. – thermal division, we post daily updates of various types of solar installations we and our partners do around the country.

This helps inform our customers about the broad rage of products we install and the extensive experience we have in the field of solar thermal technology. The particular job we have posted for today was in Broadacres, Johannesburg.

This system is a Split Active Direct Solar Thermal System. That simply means that the solar collector is separated from the geyser (on top of the roof) and the solar geyser is installed internally.

We use a solar driven pump to reticulate the water from the solar geyser in the roof to the collector (solar panel) on the roof. The collector transfers the suns heat into the water, which is then returned to the solar geyser in the roof.

Because this system is direct it means that the liquid heated is the liquid used (the water from the geyser).
