For Homeowners

Stop overpaying for hot water.

Heating water is the single biggest electricity cost in most South African homes. The Geyser Gecko is a smart geyser controller that converts your existing geyser into a PV geyser, cutting that cost by up to 90% using solar you already have room for.

Geyser Gecko is a great budget-friendly PV solar geyser solution. Simple, straight forward, heats the water, does the job, no unnecessary bells and whistles, nice app to see what’s going on, set temperatures, timers, etc.
