The Microcare PV Geyser Controller is a locally designed product in South Africa that uses solar panels to power water heaters, outperforming traditional solar water heaters. It has no plumbing required for easy retrofitting and uses solar panels, not circulating water, to prevent freezing or boiling issues of traditional collectors. The PV Controller provides a preferred solution as only electric wiring needs installed compared to pipes for traditional systems, and has no heat loss from non-circulating water.

PV Geyser Controller

The Microcare PV Geyser Controller is a locally designed product that uses standard solar panels to power a
common geyser element, outperforming the current range of thermal solar geysers in the market. With no
plumbing required this locally designed innovation is easy to retrofit to any system making it price competitive
at initial outlay and for the lifespan of the system.

Its unique design uses solar panels and not circulating water thus preventing the problems associated with
the old style collectors that suffer from freezing over in winter and boiling over in summer. For any building
the new Microcare PV Geyser Controller is the preferred solution as there is only electric wires to be installed
compared to the long pipes required for traditional solar geysers. There is also no heat loss as water doesn't
need to circulate and therefore no waiting for water to get hot thus reducing waste.
