Eskom rebate solar panels.

The national programme started in 2010 as an eskom rebate scheme to replace existing electrified geysers with solar water heaters in order to reduce the demand for power from the national grid. By providing rebates through its network of accredited suppliers and installers eskom is making quality solar water heaters. The silicon cell is essentially a p n junction that utilises the energy from the sunlight to generate electron flow from the p type si via an external resistance to the n type si. The eskom solar rebate programme enables consumers to buy solar water heating systems from accredited suppliers and claim a portion of the cost back as part of eskom s commitment to promoting the use of renewable energy.

According to mybroadband south africa s struggling power utility eskom is currently considering a new pricing structure. A solar geyser can save you up to 40 of your electricity bill. It is eskom s job to produce energy not to save it. The south african utility has issued a 20 strong tender for 50 kw solar inverters and mounting structures to be used in four power plants.

Photovoltaic pv or solar modules are made up of solar cells that are connected in series. At current eskom rates most of our system will pay for themselves in around 3 4 years. Our aim is for your solar geyser to pay for itself inside 5 years. The most common commercial cells are made from purified silicon si.

The government s ambitious solar water heating rebate programme has fallen dismally short of its target. The initial target was one million solar water heaters by 2014. Is eskom turning to solar. The nswh programme started in 2010 as a rebate scheme under eskom to replace existing electrified geysers with solar water heaters in order to alleviate the demand for power from the national grid.

The cost structure would badly affect those who have installed solar. Eskom recognised this and as part of their idm programme piloted a rebate tariff of r1 20 kwhr consumed on site over a three year period.
