Your geyser is quietly draining your wallet. Every single day. While you sleep, while you are at work, while you are out living your life, your geyser is cycling on and off, using electricity to keep water hot that nobody is using. For most South African households, the geyser accounts for around 40% of the monthly electricity bill. That is not a small number. That is a number worth doing something about.

Most South Africans who research solar power hit the same wall. They request quotes from turnkey installers, see numbers between R90,000 and R190,000 for a modest residential system, and quietly close the browser tab. The dream of energy independence gets filed under "someday" alongside emigration plans and gym memberships.
