Eskom Solar Geyser Rebate
ESKOM is using an international best practice model for Solar Geyser rebates where you pay the full installation price for the Solar Geyser, and claim back the solar geyser rebate amount from the facilitating auditors. To claim your Solar Geyser rebate, all you need to do is submit the claim form & the required documents. You submit your claim to the program facilitating auditors that oversee the payments. You can either post it or drop it in designated drop-boxes at Deloitte’s offices. You will receive your Eskom Solar Geyser rebate within 8 weeks of receipt of your completed claim.
The Rebate available on the Home Comfort Solar Geysers are up to R 9,473!
