HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Do Solar Geysers Work in Winter and During Load Shedding?
Yes. Evacuated-tube solar geysers heat water from sunlight, so they work on cold clear days and during load shedding. How they perform in winter, cloud and frost.

What Size Solar Geyser Do I Need?
Allow about 50 litres of hot water per person per day. A simple size table for 1 to 6+ people, when to go bigger, and low-pressure geysers vs retrofit kits.

Solar vs AC Borehole Pump: Which Costs Less to Run?
Solar borehole pumps cost nothing to run and work through load shedding. See a worked running-cost example, the trade-offs and when an AC or hybrid pump makes sense.

Which Solar Pump Do I Need for a 100m Borehole?
For a 100m borehole, size the pump by the water level, not the hole depth. Worked examples for water at 40m, 70m and 95m, with real pump-curve flows.
