The Real Cost of Waiting

Every month without a solar geyser is money down the drain. Here is what Cape Town homeowners typically pay before and after switching to SunScan.

WITHOUT SOLAR GEYSER

R600–R900

Per month on electricity to heat water using a traditional element geyser

WITH SUNSCAN SOLAR GEYSER

R80–R150

Per month β€” using free solar energy, with the electric element only as a backup

That is a saving of up toΒ R9,000 per yearΒ β€” meaning most SunScan solar geysers pay for themselves within 2–3 years.

SunScan Solar Geysers β€” Built for Cape Town

Engineered to harness Cape Town's abundant sunshine, our solar geysers are SABS-tested, Eskom-approved, and designed to last 15–20 years with minimal maintenance.

Load Shedding? Your Hot Water Will Not Be Affected.

Unlike a standard electric geyser, a SunScan solar geyser heats your water during the day using the sun β€” so it is fully charged and ready when the power goes out. No more cold showers during load shedding.

Why Cape Town Homeowners Choose SunScan Solar Geysers

More than just hot water β€” a smart, long-term investment in your home and your energy independence.

A solar geyser is a recognised value-add feature that makes your property more attractive to buyers and can increase your home's market value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before making your decision.

A solar geyser uses solar panels (collectors) to absorb sunlight and convert it into heat. This heat is transferred to water stored in an insulated tank, providing hot water for household use.

Yes, but their efficiency may be reduced. Most solar geysers have an electric backup system to ensure a continuous hot water supply when sunlight is insufficient.

Yes. The system heats water during the day and stores it in an insulated tank, which keeps it hot for use at night or early in the morning.

A well-maintained solar geyser can last 15 to 20 years. Regular servicing and proper installation can extend its lifespan.

The periodic maintenance includes:

  • Cleaning the solar panels to remove dirt and debris
  • Checking for leaks or blockages in pipes
  • Flushing the system periodically to remove sediment buildup
  • Ensuring the backup system functions properly

Solar geysers have built-in thermostatic controls and safety valves to prevent overheating. Some systems also have temperature regulation features to maintain safe water temperatures.

Most roofs can accommodate a solar geyser, but the roof’s strength, angle, and orientation must be considered. A professional installer will assess and recommend the best setup for optimal performance.

The size depends on your household’s hot water requirements.

Yes, in most cases, an existing geyser can be converted into a solar-powered system using a retrofit kit. A professional assessment will determine if your geyser is suitable for conversion.

Yes. A solar geyser increases energy efficiency, lowers utility costs, and makes a property more attractive to buyers, adding long-term value to your home.
