This article correctly reflects the principles of Solar Water Heating as they pertain to South African conditions. However, it was written in 1980 and the global energy situation has changed considerably. Furthermore, modern commercial units will have taken many, perhaps all, of the key design aspects into account. Potential purchasers should still check on position and orientation of units, attention to insulation and corrosion and freezing resistance.
