The first traceable use of the sun was when man used crystals to amplify the Sun's rays for starting fires. We have used the sun (solar energy) to our advantage for thousands of years for growing food, heating food or water, making fire, electricity and alternative energy. He made an oval box that he protected and lined with glass. He put two small boxes inside and placed it in the Sun. The small box warmed to more than one hundred degrees Celsius. Today the solar industry is flourishing and is reworking our means of thinking and influencing our approach towards the matter of the ever spiralling electricity consumption and cost. With the results of world warming transforming into extra observable and along these lines the draining oil wells and coal mines, we tend to have gotten to be extra and more snared into renewable energy. With an engineering background, the founding father of this company back in 1985 saw the void within the market and commenced importation and selling solar water heating systems in Cape Town and to homeowners throughout the Western Cape. A number of these early days solar water heating units is still visible on roofs throughout the Western Cape today. These systems are also known as Solar geysers systems. The design and contents of the modern solar water heating systems has improved and comprises of South African materials and all parts are factory-made in our country. The newcomer to our industry is the very economical and cost effective Heat Pump s. This route is for those people living in multi-storey buildings where access to the conventional geyser is difficult or placed in the basement. In early 1990’s, the need for cost effective pool heating for the homeowner was recognised and Solnet started with an imported product, solar heating panels for swimming pools and spas. The results was spectacular and the industry grew into a lifestyle mode. The design had performance and longevity in mind and because of this factor, we can comfortably offer a ten year assurance on our product. Over the years, many copies of our pool heat pumps and pool heaters and swimming pool heating followed, but is falling short, time and again. When you see an artist at work, in our case the manufacture and installation of alternative energy products, it looks simple until a novice or imitator attempts it. Our products and services have evolved over the years and we are proud to be called the leaders in our field, providing warm and hot water to thousands of families, guest houses, hotels, municipalities and establishments in the Western Cape today.
