The cost structure would badly affect those who have installed solar.

Eskom rebate solar panels.

Is eskom turning to solar. By providing rebates through its network of accredited suppliers and installers eskom is making quality solar water heaters. Some of our products carry a 10 year guarantee and are fully sabs approved. 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. Photovoltaic pv or solar modules are made up of solar cells that are connected in series. The initial target was one million solar water heaters by 2014. The most common commercial cells are made from purified silicon si.

But as its power station maintenance. It is eskom s job to produce energy not to save it. 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. 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.

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. Seventy percent of this rebate is payable upfront and the rest in 10 tranches over three years based on energy consumed on site by the company. 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 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.

At current eskom rates most of our system will pay for themselves in around 3 4 years. Eskom is happy to advise that south africans can still apply for rebates on the purchase of sabs and eskom approved solar water heating systems following installations by eskom accredited installers.
