Geysers fail silently — until they don't.

Most geyser damage begins as a small issue: slow leaks, corrosion, abnormal temperature behaviour. Traditional systems give zero warning, so insurers only learn about the problem once a ceiling is wet and a claim is filed.

Elon Smart Water adds a monitoring layer that can detect failure patterns early and trigger action before catastrophic damage occurs. This shifts the model from reactive payouts to proactive prevention — protecting policyholders and reducing loss ratios.

Prevention is cheaper than repair.

brown brick house with solar panels on roof

Nine Months Monitored, 73% Solar — The Longest-Running Dataset in the Series

The smallest system in the series, the longest monitoring period, and still a 73% solar fraction. This is the proof point for budget-conscious households: even a modest 1.6 kWp array pays for itself and keeps delivering.

What makes Elon Smart Water different?
icon

It’s the only solution that retrofits standard electric geysers and is solar PV-ready—combining smart thermostat control, connected monitoring and seamless solar integration.

Can the system be retrofitted to my existing geyser?
icon

Yes — if you have a compatible geyser (for example from your preferred brand), your electrician can replace the thermostat with the Elon smart unit and convert it into a smart, solar-ready heater.

What is the difference between the Elon 100 and the Elon Smart Water solution?
icon

The Elon 100 is a solar-PV water-heater kit. The Smart Water solution is a next-generation smart thermostat platform that turns standard geysers into connected, solar-ready devices.

How many solar panels or what size solar array do I need?
icon

The size depends on your hot-water usage, location and array size; as a guide we recommend a minimum of around 1 kWp of solar PV for the retrofit system.

How do loadshedding and grid outages affect my system?
icon

If there is sun the system can heat with solar; if there’s no grid and no solar it will pause heating. During load-shedding you still benefit whenever solar is available.
