January 20, 20242 yr Good day I am interested in installing a Geyserwise PV Solar Geyser Conversion Kit. Is there anybody who have experience with the product over a 12 month period? What is the effect of winter in delivering hot water? I am staying in Centurion.
February 6, 20242 yr We’ve had 2 geyser converted to geyserwise about 15 months ago. Sep 2022. works perfectly well. My geysers are heated by solar pv power in the day. The app is not mind blowing (Tuyu compatible) but it does its thing. I would have liked the 4x6hour blocks to be more flexible, but we’ve learned ro live with it. Use battery to heat at 6am if needed, because the sun will recharge from 8am onwards. however, if you don’t have good batteries, you would have like to pick the hours of the day, and not the quarters to heat. that is a fundamental flaw, but its a software decision. So, the developers can fix it if they wanted too.
February 22, 20242 yr I also had it installed with 2 dedicated 540 watt panels about 14 months ago. I always have hot water - even in winter.

If you're looking for something more flexible, and open to integration for automation we also do a Geyserwise upgrade https://www.thingwala.com/geyserwala/connect/. See the Demo App: https://app.thingwala.com/geyserwala/demo Impressive!

If I do use extra electricity for my geyser, which very seldom happens, I get that from my solar installation.
