Eskom solar geyser rebate programme.

Thank you for approaching eskom with an interest in solar. Eskom has given notice to consumers that it will no longer be responsible for the future implementation funding and management of the solar geyser and water heating rebate programme both high and low pressure. That 23 of this target can be met through solar water heating and eskom is therefore actively encouraging consumers to switch to solar water heating. Eskom has said that it will be handing over the administration of the solar water heater rebate programme to the department of energy doe.

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. Eskom rebate cancelled. The solar rebate and mass roll out programme is no longer being facilitated by eskom. Nersa gave eskom r1 068bn to fund the rebate programme that began in 2008 and was reviewed this year.

Before submitting your claim. Unfortunately as of april 30th 2015 eskom cancelled the solar water heating rebate programme. Read article here we sincerely apologize to our clients hoping to get a helping hand in installing a solar water heater. Here is why solar geyser is still a good investment.

The budget for this programme has been the responsibility of the department of energy however eskom has been responsible for implementing the programme until now. Eskom is offering home owners rebates of 15 to 20 on the cost of installing solar water heating systems through its solar rebate programme enabling homeowners to save from about r1 860 up to r4 900 on the cost of a solar water heating system. Only 400 000 systems have been installed according to eskom. To fund the solar water heater rebate programme which was started in 2008 national energy regulator of south africa nersa allocated funds to cover programme development marketing.
