​

WILL MY GEYSER OVERHEAT IF I'M ON VACATION?

No, the Geyserobot switches off when the set geyser temperature is reached. 

This also reduces water spillage in a country where water is becoming scarce.

​

DO I NEED TO CHANGE ANY PLUMBING FOR THIS INSTALLATION?

No, this installation uses a standard household geyser with no additional pipes for water or anti-freeze circulation needed. 

This is purely an electrical installation, with the Geyserobot connecting to your geyser.

​

CAN I USE THE GEYSEROBOT TO STORE EXCESS ENERGY FOR CONSUMPTION AT A LATER STAGE?

Yes, but use at own risk. 

The Geyserobot only stores energy as heat (hot water) in the geyser. 

Using  additional power is possible, assuming that you have more PV panels connected than your hot water needs require. 

The Geyserobot is not designed to charge batteries therefore you will need an external battery charger, preferably one with MPPT functionality. 

Note that during poor sunshine periods less sun-harvested power will be available for additional use and batteries will most probably damage during this time.

​

DOES THE GEYSEROBOT FEED THE GEYSER WITH DC POWER?

No. Although we do get DC-power from the panels we convert it enough to feed it safely to the geyser - adhering to quality specifications.

​

CAN I USE THIS OUTPUT TO POWER ANY OTHER DEVICE?

No. The Geyserobot does not output pure sine-wave, nor does it guarantee full load-power. 

The household geyser is a special case, if the element requires for example 3 kW it will still function normally with less power available.

​

WHAT MAINTENANCE IS NECESSARY WITH THIS SYSTEM?

The Geyserobot works together with a standard geyser, therefore anything that will affect a standard geyser applies here. 

The only "maintenance" which does apply, is cleaning your solar PV panels from time to time.

 

HOW SAFE IS MY SOLAR PANELS AGAINST HAIL, WIND, RAIN & MY NEIGHBORS' KIDS' CRICKET BALLS?

Our kits use only certified PV panels from reputable manufacturers and therefore we are confident that the panels will be able to withstand almost anything you can through at it.

 

DOES THIS SYSTEM COMPLY WITH SAFETY STANDARDS?

Yes, the Geyserobot has been tested and is SANS approved.
