Solution Overview & Benefits

This Solar Water Heater is designed to provide you with hot water without using any power supply. Since it is only using free and substainable solar energy for heating water it reduces harmful emissions and constant costs (e.g. charcoal). The Solar Water Heaters is made of 3 parts – a collector, a tank and a stand. The complany also provides customers with site assesment and installation. This makes sure that the system is set up under optimal conditions. The tank is always filled with water. Due to gravity and differences in the density of cold and hot water, the water is constantly being heated up. Under sunshine the water heats up to a temperature of 70°C. By adding cold water to the bucket above the main tank, the main tank will automatically provide you with hot water in the lower bucket. 2 different variants are offered: 100l and 200l. This system can also be customized, e.g. be connected to a water supply or supply tank.

History & Development

A lot of people in the Taita Hills Region in Kenya lack hot water in their houses. Since a constant hot water supply is not only an improvement in lifequality but also an improvement in hygiene, we wanted to find an affordable solution that is not only environment-friendly but also good for the locals and local economy. That is why we only employ locals and make sure that our products are also 100% Made in Kenya. Our product has gone through a 3 year long optimization process. Not only did we try to find appropriate compromises between costs and environment. We fought with weather resitancy which plays a huge role, since the Solar Water Heater needs to stay outside all the time. We were also trying to figure out what the best way of insulation, while staying environment friendly, is. With our current solution the 100l tank can provide you with up to 50l hot water daily, while the supply from the 200l system can go up to 100l.
