SWH for R7999

Slight bump / thread revival....

BCO - the price you quoted in the original post seems to be for a complete system. Do they do conversions as well? My 200lt geyser is a couple of months old (after the 4 year old one popped and was replaced under warranty) - and if so, can they indicate a price?

I don't really want to phone them as sales people can get a bit much at times....

Ta.

Pity you don't have solar freezers and fridges yet. If we can only get the oven on Eskom and the rest on solar power, then I'll be a happy chappy

Eskom can go stuff themselves.

I agree.

Solar powered fridge

Can I run my fridge directly off the panel?

The most effective way to use your portable 60W thin film panel is in conjunction with a solar charge controller to recharge 12V deep-cycle lead acid batteries. But a 60W panel can be connected directly to a 12V camping fridge/freezer. Connect the positive wire from the solar panel to the positive wire from the fridge and the same with the negative wires from the panel and fridge. The 60W panel will effectively keep your fridge running as long as there is sunlight. If the fridge is placed on the freeze setting during the day the internal temperature will still be sufficiently cold by the following morning (significantly high ambient temperatures at night need to be taken into consideration). Once the sun is up re-connect the panel to the fridge and it will resume running the fridge. http://www.thinfilmsolar.co.za/faq.php
