Convert Electric Geyser to Solar Geyser – Save Money & Energy
Switching from an electric geyser to a solar geyser is one of the smartest investments you can make for your home or business. Not only does it reduce electricity bills, but it also contributes to energy sustainability, compliance with SANS 10400-XA, and long-term savings.
At Juspropa, we specialise in converting existing electric geysers into fully compliant solar water heating systems, providing certified installation, a Solar Geyser COC, and unmatched expertise across Johannesburg, Sandton, Randburg, Fourways, Midrand, Centurion, Roodepoort, Benoni, Edenvale, Kyalami, and Mulbarton.
Why Convert Electric Geyser to Solar?
1. Slash Your Electricity Bills
Electric geysers can consume up to 40% of household electricity. By pre-heating your water with solar energy:
-
Reduce energy consumption immediately
-
Lower utility bills by up to 50%
2. Increase Property Value
A solar water heating system is a marketable green upgrade, increasing property appeal and resale value.
3. Comply with South African Energy Standards
All conversions meet:
-
SANS 10400-XA – Minimum non-electric hot water contribution
-
SANS 10106 – Safe installation
-
SANS 1307 – Performance certification
4. Reduce Carbon Footprint
Every conversion reduces household CO₂ emissions, contributing to cleaner air and environmental responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does the conversion take?
A: Typically 1–2 days, depending on roof access and system type.
Q: Will I still have hot water at night?
A: Yes. All systems include storage tanks; electricity only acts as backup.
Q: Do I need a new tank?
A: Not always. Our assessment determines if your existing geyser can be retrofitted or if a new tank is more efficient.
Q: Is it SANS compliant?
A: Every installation meets SANS 10106, 1307, and 10400-XA, and comes with a certified COC.
