Product Description
The Apollo Solar APSP 30 is a 300L solar geyser retrofit kit designed to convert an existing electric geyser into a solar powered hot water system without replacing the storage tank. It uses evacuated vacuum tube collectors to absorb solar energy and transfer heat to the existing geyser through a thermosiphon or circulation assisted process depending on installation configuration.

This system is ideal for residential and small commercial applications where users want to reduce electricity consumption while retaining their current geyser installation. The retrofit design allows integration with standard high pressure plumbing systems, making it suitable for most South African household installations.

The kit is designed for energy efficiency, reducing reliance on grid electricity by pre heating water using solar energy before it enters the existing geyser. It is commonly used in load shedding environments and high electricity cost regions to improve hot water efficiency and reduce operating costs.

The APSP 30 does not include the geyser tank, allowing it to be paired with an existing 300L system for cost effective solar conversion.
