No roof-mounted tank, no vacuum tubes, no dedicated plumbing run. Panels connect directly to the controller at the geyser.

Case studies
Live developments running on Geyser Gecko
Tri-Star Construction · Fleurhof, Gauteng
260 units live, 600 more coming
Up to R1.08 million saved on grid electricity every year.
Tri-Star needed to cut electricity costs for residents without risking hot water during load shedding. Dark Line fitted Geyser Gecko units across the Fleurhof development: solar heats first, the grid is only the backup, and every unit is visible from day one in the Gecko Hub.
CDP · Mixed-use development
600 units retrofitted, no disruption
Up to R2.6 million saved on grid electricity every year.
CDP wanted a retrofit that worked with their existing geysers and didn’t mean major changes to the property. Each zone (residential, retail and common areas) runs its own settings, all managed from a single Gecko Hub, cutting peak demand at high-load times.
