Wrong installations. NOTE: Information presented is based on
direct feedback from industry and users!
Exploded geyser
Directions??
Poor plumbing.
Bent rafters
Change a non pressure to high pressure then this happens.
Roof leak due to wrong instalation.
Backyard design, that is why we need standards

SA National Standard for Domestic Solar Water Heaters
• The Primary Standard applicable in South Africa for solar water heaters is
• SANS 1307 :2009 Domestic solar water heaters
• The following SA National Standards are referenced within SANS 1307 and hence compliance to requirements is required:
• SANS 151:2008 Fixed electric storage water heaters
• SANS 60335-2-21:2000 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances Part 2: Particular requirements for storage water heaters
Outdoor Exposure Test Site, SABS Pretoria
SANS 1307:2009 - Requirements Mechanical Tests – SANS 6210
• 5.2 Stagnation test for collector• Low failure rate only on flat plate (not vacuum tubes)
• Condensation
• Good insulation required and correct installation
• 5.3 Mechanical strength• Fatigue test (250 000 cycles) and hydrostatic pressure test
• Vacuum test – most pass
• Low pressure, many failures
• High pressure, most pass
• Quality of welds is critical
• 5.4 Rain penetration of collectors• 5 min per 30min for a period of 3 hours
Torque test. 115 Nm.
Rain test.
SANS 1307:2009 – RequirementsMechanical Tests – SANS 6210
• 5.5 Resistance of collectors to Hail damage
• 12 perpendicular impacts from the ice gun, each of impact energy of 11J ±1 J
• Changed in revised 2009 standard
• Vacuum tubes, previously failing; now better quality and most passing test
• Flat plates OK
• 5.6 Resistance to Freezing
• Cold room at -20 oC
• Food grade glycol suitable
• Circulation pump with battery backup
• Insulation important
• Other Tests: 5.7 DZR, 5.8 Water absorption, 5.9 Corrosion resistance
Hail test, 11 + - 1 j
Measure the speed of the hail ball. 11.11 J

Fatigue test, required: 250 000 cycles
Fatigue failure, 17000 cycles, required: 250 000
SANS 1307:2009 - RequirementsThermal Properties – SANS 6211-1
• Advanced (Outdoor) Thermal Performance Exposure test
• Gives Q factor (measure of energy saving) for complete solar system
• Minimum of 6 days exposure
• 10 – 25 MJ/m, range used to give average performance
• Regression analysis to give Q Factor for whole year
