Cape Town – The massive floods that have swept across parts of the country have raised the risk of waterborne diseases such as cholera, Water Affairs Minister Edna Molewa warned on Wednesday.
The flooding had “created conditions that are conducive to the possibility of water-borne diseases like cholera”, as well as animal diseases such as Rift [...]
Johannesburg – Nine men have been arrested by the Modimolle stock theft unit for alleged rhino poaching in Limpopo in the past few weeks, police said on Wednesday.
“In the most recent incident, four suspects were arrested while they were on their way to allegedly shoot rhinos at a private game reserve near Lephalale,” said Lieutenant [...]
Solar energy is harnessed by various solar power systems to perform different functions.
If you are interested in ’going green’, i.e. being eco-friendly, you can use any of these solar power systems to reduce electricity consumption:
• Solar water heater: This is a very efficient homemade solar energy system. These heating systems are so effective that your geysers [...]
You can use solar power to run outdoor lights; replace security, poolside and garden lights with solar powered lights and save electricity. They are long lasting and will last through all weather conditions.
Solar water heating is also a great alternative to normal electricity-intensive geysers.
There are two types of geysers – direct systems that [...]
As with a conventional geyser, the hot water storage container in a solar geyser is thermally insulated to retain heat.
Solar geysers are usually larger than electric geysers and better insulated. This allows you to maximise your solar gains.
Solar geysers can be linked to existing geysers or can completely replace them. The system can be installed [...]
In this sunny country, solar energy is an abundant source of renewable energy, making it an obvious choice when seeking alternative sources of energy.
Solar water heating & how a Solar Geyser works
Solar geysers are built on two basic principles of physics: dark coloured objects absorb heat, and hot water rises.
Unlike other systems that can be [...]
Humans have been using solar power for many years to heat up their water, light up their homes and for general low-voltage applainces. Solar power energy is now more easily accessible to the public than ever before, and millions of people around the world are installing solar geysers in their homes in order to save [...]
Wherever you go these days, you see something about solar energy, on TV, the newspapers, magazines and many other mediums. Whether you’re talking about solar panels, solar gadgets, solar geysers or solar pool heaters – advertisers are increasingly trying to get our attention to renewable energy. But what’s the big deal? Is it really that [...]
Television
Don’t use the “sleep” mode on the Television. When not watching, switch it off completely.
Geysers and Solar Geysers
Always turn the geyser thermostat to the minimum heat neccessary. Do not heat the water for a long time. During our summer months geysers keep their heat for very long thanks to the high temperatures. [...]
