Direct System: the potable water in the geyser is directly heated by the solar collector. Indirect System: the potable water is stored in ann inner tank with an outer tank surrounding the inner tank known as a jacket. The

When a solar geyser is installed at a higher plane than the solar collector it's known as a coupled thermosyphon system. The basic principles of physics come into play where a liquid is heated it becomes less dense and

An array of solar vacuum tubes are more efficient than a flat plate solar collector as the tubes are round and the sun rays will start heating the system earlier in the morning. A tube system also allows for

Very little maintenance is needed. The system should be checked for any visible leaks and the solar collector should be kept clean. The heat transfer liquid (dilution of glycol and water) in the Indirect System must be topped up

A split pump system is when the solar geyser is installed at a lower plane (normally in the roof) than the solar collector. In order to circulate the liquid between the solar geyser and the solar collector, circulating pumps

The solar geyser is fitted with an electrical thermostat and element, which will heat the water if there are no solar rays.
