The ESKOM Solar Rebate Programme is an initiative that is driven by the South African government. Eskom, realizing that Solar Water Heating is the most effective means of renewable energy sources, is participating in this initiative by means of solar water heating rebate programme.
This means:
Eskom will pay a percentage rebate on the installation of approved solar water heating systems directly to the consumer.
This is a significant incentive to install a solar water geyser, which itself can reduce your heating bill by as much as 70%.
The rebate amounts granted by Eskom are subject to the performance and durability of the different systems available on the market.
To make sure that high standards are maintained, all systems that partake in this initiative has to pass SABS tests to determine that it is safe, mechanically sound and how effective each system is.
Originally the installer was responsible for claiming the rebate, but there was resistance to this as it was perceived that the installer is actually financing the client for the duration it takes for the claim to clear. So it has now changed to the client having to make, and wait for the claim, often after having paid for a more expensive system.

Schalk Cloete is an environmentally conscious South African living in Norway, where a climate low on sunshine and wind makes microgeneration unfeasible. However, he convinced his parents, who live in Paarl, to adopt an eco-friendly method of powering their home in sunny South Africa. He approached Sustainable.co.za with his request.
