What Is the Kwikot 100L Flat Panel Solar Geyser?
The Kwikot 100L Flat Panel Solar Geyser is an entry-level solar water heating system suited to small households and secondary installations. Its compact 100-litre tank provides sufficient hot water for one to two people who shower daily and use hot water for general household purposes.
System specifications: Tank capacity: 100 litres | Collector type: Flat plate panel | System type: Thermosiphon (gravity-fed, no pump) | Backup element: 2kW | Recommended household size: 1 to 2 people.
Common Use Cases
The 100L model is particularly popular for bachelor flats and studio apartments where roof rights are available, granny flats and separate staff quarters on a property, small holiday homes or weekend cottages, and adding a dedicated hot water supply to a separate bathroom or outdoor shower.
Electricity Savings
A 100L electric geyser running daily at current residential electricity rates (approximately R3.50/kWh) costs R350–R650 per month depending on usage. Solar heating reduces backup element usage by 60–80% on adequate sunlight days, saving approximately R200–R500 per month. At R13,490 plus installation, the system typically recovers its cost within 2 to 3.5 years.
Supply Only
Price of R13,490 is for the unit only. Professional installation by a PIRB-registered plumber or solar installer is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 100L suitable for a family?
A: The 100L Kwikot is designed for 1 to 2 people. For a family of 3 or more, the 150L or 200L model is more appropriate.
Q: Can I use it as a secondary geyser alongside my existing geyser?
A: Yes. A 100L solar geyser can be plumbed in as a pre-heating unit — solar-heated water is fed into an existing geyser, reducing how much the main element needs to heat the water.
Q: Does the 100L model include an electrical backup?
A: Yes. The unit includes a 2kW backup element that draws from the mains supply for days when solar collection is insufficient.
Q: What does installation typically cost?
A: A standard rooftop installation for a 100L model in Gauteng typically costs R3,000–R4,500. Contact PowerVault ZA for installer referrals.
Q: Is this available for collection in Johannesburg?
A: Yes. PowerVault ZA is based at 14 Sol Street, Linbro Business Park, Sandton. Contact us on +27 83 476 8779 to confirm availability.
