control.
• Solar geysers: Commonly used for hot water during sunshine.
• Electric geysers: Operate when hot water in solar tank is insufficient or sunlight is scarce.
• Work by absorbing heat, heating water, and circulating it via a pipe.
o Example: 230V, 2,000W electric heater for 3 hours
each evening in June.
Electric appliances
• Cost = power rating x time x unit price = R225,00.
• Electric appliances use current heating effect, electric motors, or
combinations of both.
• Power rating - found on appliances or their packaging.
• Some appliances operate at various power ratings - fan with
three speeds or heater with heat settings.
