Geyser Gecko PV Solar Water Heating System

The Geyser Gecko PV Solar Water Heating System is the perfect way to transform your traditional electric geyser into an energy-efficient solar water heating solution. Designed to maximise the use of solar energy, the system helps reduce electricity consumption while providing reliable hot water using your existing geyser installation.

The Geyser Gecko intelligently directs power from solar panels directly to your geyser element, eliminating the need for batteries and allowing you to make the most of available solar energy. The system can operate in either PV-only mode, where solar energy is used exclusively to heat the geyser, or in Hybrid Mode, where grid power supplements solar energy when required.

Using the Geyser Gecko mobile app, users can remotely monitor, configure and manage their water heating system from anywhere with an internet connection.

Key Features

• Easy Installation – Compatible with existing electric geysers and does not require a specialised geyser element.

• Energy Savings – Reduce geyser electricity consumption by more than 50%.

• Powerful Performance – Supports geyser elements up to 4kW.

• PV-Only Operation – Operates directly from solar PV power.

• Hybrid Functionality – Combines solar PV and grid power when additional heating is required.

• Accurate Monitoring – Includes a digital temperature probe for precise temperature measurement.

• Remote Management – Monitor and control the system through the Geyser Gecko mobile app.

• Smart Upgrade – Converts an existing geyser into a solar-assisted water heating solution.
