Comments on results

• Mix of respondent types
• Commercial parties generally have an optimistic outlook for growth (medium or high; except one manufacturer)
• Magnitude of savings may be too high, unless aggregated service estimates have been provided. A normalised method should be developed for reporting performance comparisons
• Barriers analysis might point to areas of focus for the task

Development Status and Challenges of Thermostyphon System in Africa: Case Studies
September 2022 - PDF 0.2MB

Introduction

• Among the various types of SWHS, thermosyphon SWHS are the most economical and dominant in Africa (66%).
• Thermosyphon systems are used for harnessing solar energy for hot water production, all over the world, especially for low temperature thermal systems [Samanci and Berber, 2011; Liu et al., 2012; Sarma et al., 2014; Ko, 2015; Kolhe et al., 2015].
• Thermosyphon (passive) systems make up more than 70% of solar water heating installations in Africa.
• However, above 70% of hot water preparation at the household/domestic level is still undertaken primarily using electric geysers (despite energy scarcity in most African countries).
• In the last five (5) years, solar water heating installations in Africa has witnessed tremendous increases.
• In Southern Africa, the Southern African Solar Thermal Training & Demonstration Initiative (SOLTRAIN)has worked in improving awareness and uptake of solar water heating systems
