ESKOM increases the rebate for solar water heading systems.

ESKOM has substantially increased the rebated offered on solar water heating. This is a response to the Minister of Energy's call for solar to become a greater force to alleviate the electricity requirements of the country.

The new rebates allow the payback period to be only 5 years, a huge reduction! This represents an increase of 100% from the previous solar payback period.

Hopefully, this change in rebates will increase the interest in solar hot water.
