What is solar radiation?
Solar radiation is radiant energy emitted by the sun, particularly electromagnetic energy. Basically it means how much sun-light shining down on us.

How does Solar Geyser Direct work?
Solar Geyser Direct relies on warm water rising, a phenomenon known as natural convection, to circulate water through the evacuated glass tube collector and to the tank. Hot water storage tank is located above the absorber evacuated glass tubes. As water in the absorber heats, it becomes lighter and naturally rises into the tank above. Meanwhile, cooler water in the tank flows downwards into the absorber, thus causing circulation throughout the system.

Can the Solar Geyser Direct heat water to a high enough temperature?
Yes, in sunny days Solar Geyser Direct can bring water to boiling point.

What happens if the Evacuated Glass Tubes are damaged or broken?
Firstly, tubes are very strong and not easily broken, but if the worst should happen, solar tubes can be replaced very easily. They are available though your local Solar Geyser Direct distributor. It is recommended that broken tubes be replaced immediately.

Is Solar Geyser Direct a viable alternative to gas or electricity?
Yes, Solar Geyser Direct System is an alternative to gas or electricity boosted geysers in the some areas of Pakistan. Averaged over a year, a correctly sized Solar Geyser Direct System can provide 80% to 100% of a household's hot water needs. . The hot water system can easily be automated with the natural gas boosted or electric geyser so hot water is guaranteed regardless of sunlight levels.

How long will it take to recoup my investment?
Solar Geyser Direct are much more affordable than many other solar hot water heaters. For a household of 4, the price of a full system may not be too much more than a new electric or gas boosted geysers. Depending on your location (solar levels) and current hot water usage the annual electricity or gas saving will differ. However in a normal household that spends 35% of its electricity bill on hot water heating, the full cost of the purchase may be recouped as quickly as 3-4 years in reduced bills. You will definitely make considerable savings during the life of the Solar Geyser Direct.

Can Solar Geyser Direct be use in cold conditions?
Yes, Solar Geyser Direct can be used in temperatures as low as -10° C, although performance is reduced in such extreme conditions but Good heat output is still achieved in mild sub-zero conditions as long as there is sunlight.

Will water be heated on a cloudy day?
Yes. Although the heat output of the solar collector is reduced on overcast days it will still be able to provide heating. If it is a heavily clouded day or raining, then more gas or electric boosting may be required to maintain water at the required temperature. This system will be automated with the existing natural gas boosted geyser or electric geyser, so you don't have to worry about running out of hot water on a rainy day.

Are Evacuated Glass Tubes affected by frost?
No. The Solar Geyser Direct has been tested to minus 10º C and works extremely efficiently in cold climates.

Can I use Solar Geyser Direct with my existing geyser (Hot water System)?
Normally yes. Simple retrofit valves can often be used to allow Solar Geyser Direct to connect to your existing geyser; the hot water system can easily be automated so hot water is guaranteed regardless of sunlight levels.

Who will install the Solar Geyser Direct at my roof?
The Solar Geyser Direct System should be fitted by an authorized and registered plumber who will ensure it is positioned correctly.

What maintenance of the Solar Geyser Direct is required?
Under normal circumstances no maintenance of the system is required. Due to the shape of the tubes regular rainfall and wind should keep the tubes clean. Should a tube even be broken it should be replaced. This, however, is an inexpensive and easy job. Any "handy" person can install a new tube.

Will the Solar Geyser Direct be a fire hazard during hot, dry weather?
No. The Solar Geyser Directs components are all high temperature rated and non-flammable so even during strong sunlight, the system will not catch a light or give off any sparks. The majority of the Solar Geyser Directs components are stainless steel, aluminium and glass.

Can Solar Geyser Direct be used for a large scale hot water production?
Yes. Solar Geyser Direct can be connected in series or parallel to provide large scale hot water production for a commercial setting such as a school, hotel or office building. There is really no limit to the size of the system, however collectors must be installed in banks of no more than 150 tubes (in series, otherwise the water may boil.

Can I heat my swimming pool using a Solar Geyser Direct?
Solar Geyser Direct Collectors are high temperature collectors, and are therefore ideal for spas, as the volume of water is small and temperature requirements high. For swimming pools, however, the volume of water is large and the temperature rise required is only several degrees. The cost of heating a pool using evacuated glass tube collectors (for domestic purposes) may be prohibitively high. For large scale swimming pools, however, Solar Geyser Direct collectors may be an extremely viable supplement to gas or electricity.

Are evacuated glass tube collectors more efficient than flat plate collectors?
Averaged over a year evacuated glass tube collector have a clear advantage. The key points are:

• Due to the cylindrical shape of the evacuated tube, the solar tubes are able to passively track the sun throughout the day. Flat plate collector only provide peak energy output at midday when the sun is perpendicular to the collector's surface.

• Air is evacuated from the solar evacuated glass tubes to form a vacuum. This greatly reduces conductive and convective heat loss from the interior of the tube. As a result wind and cold temperatures have less effect on the efficiency of the evacuated tube collector.

• Solar Geyser Direct Collectors can often be used in subzero temperatures without the system sustaining damage. Flat plate systems often require expensive and complicated "antifreeze" systems to be installed.

• Evacuated tubes are strong, long lasting, and should one be broken, inexpensive and easy to replace. If a flat plate collector panel is damaged the whole panel must be replaced.

• Due to the high efficiency absorption of solar radiation even during overcast conditions, combined with excellent insulative properties of the solar tube, solar tube collectors can heat water all year round. (backup from gas and electricity is still required).

• Due to the various advantages of evacuated tube collector over flat plate collectors, a smaller collector can be used to provide the same heating performance. For example, a standard household of 4-5 people would usually require a 150-250L water storage tank. Depending on your location, only 30 evacuated tubes would be required to provide all summer hot water needs and a large percentage in other seasons.

• Flat plate solar collectors can produce similar heat output to evacuated tube collectors, but generally only during warm, still, sunny conditions. When averaged over an entire year, evacuated tube collector heat output per net m2 of absorber area, is between 25% to 50% greater that a flat plate collector.

Because Solar Geyser Direct Systems are lightweight, modular and include comprehensive installation instructions, you can expect an average installation to take 3-8 hours, depending on if you are retrofitting an existing home or new home and how experienced and knowledgeable the plumber is.

Are Solar Geyser Directs expensive?
No. In the long term, a Solar Geyser Direct can save you up to 80% of your household's electricity or gas expenses and over a 20 year period is considerably cheaper than buying a straight electric or gas geyser due to the much lower running costs of a Solar Geyser Direct system.

How many people will the Solar Geyser Direct service?
There are several types and sizes of Solar Geyser Direct Systems available depending on the number of bathrooms and people living in the home. There are systems to suit every home.

How does using solar help the environment?
