The system makes use of photovoltaic technology and a unique PTC AC/DC element to heat the water
in the geyser. This differs from the traditional thermal hot water systems where water is cycled from a
collector through pipes to the hot water cylinder by either making use of a 220V pump, 12V pump or
thermo siphoning.
Advantages over thermal hot water systems are as follows:
Any existing geyser can be converted
No Additional plumbing is required
No pumps necessary to circulate water
No risk of damaged panels in frost prone areas
The water temperature can be controlled on very hot summer days – reduced risk of overheating
problems
Suitable in all water conditions
Suitable in areas where the geyser is not situated near the panels
Modular system – can be expanded to build off-grid power system for the home

The PowAR Snap – Fastener Clip fits into place on the module frame. Once attached to the module, the four clips simply snap into place on your structural support.

No tools are required for installation, however, a setting tool is available for convenient removal of the fastener from the support.

QUICK
Fastening and grounding in a single operation.
Up to 5 times faster than a clamp.

EASY TO USE
Tool-free set up.
Designed for non-qualified workers – allowing minimal training.
Intuitive: the “click” signals the function is complete.
Friendly: no need for climbing on structure, panels can be inserted from underneath the array.
