Why save energy and reduce electricity consumption?
The world is facing increasing energy shortages.
In South Africa energy shortages have resulted in widespread blackouts.
Reducing your energy consumption reduces your carbon footprint and helps the Earth Environment.
Reducing your energy consumption helps Eskom avoid power cuts.
Reducing your energy consumption saves you money!!
Our contribution - Be part of the solution and assist all South Africans by reducing your
individual demand on Eskom's limited supply.
- Take the moral high ground, in a move towards a low carbon economy.
- Reducing your risk of future penalties for exceeding prescribed consumption.
- Dramatically lower electricity bills.
Worldwide engergy-eficient green technology (solar geysers) is growing exponentially for a
number of reasons, such as:
- An increased drive to cleaner energy production;
- A greater awareness of climate change and the issues around global warming;
- Importantly for the home owner, the increasing reliability and effectiveness of
energy-efficient green technology.
How can I save money and reduce my electricity consumption?

Eternal Energy can help
you dramatically reduce your energy consumption by installing:
Once installed a solar water heater can save you up to 50% on your electricity costs.
Similarly, using energy-efficient LED lighting with its longer lifespan can you 8-14%.
No other appliance in your home pays for itself through direct savings, whilst reducing the
impact of looming energy cost hikes.
Example: A average family pays R800 every month towards an electricity bill.
After installation,
the solar heating system will save R800 x 33.6% = R270 every month. It will bring your
saving to R270 x 12 = R3 240 per year.
After conversion to
LED lighting you will save R800 x 11% = R88 every month. It will bring your
saving to R88 x 12 = R1056 per year.
Why use Eternal Solar Power?
South Africa has a warm climate and an average sunny day generates enough solar energy
to provide for all your hot water and lighting needs. The average household could reduce
their electricity account by 30% to 50% by converting to solar water heating solutions.
Lighting and other appliances can also run on solar power using a rooftop solar generator system.
Environmentally friendly - Solar energy is clean energy - no carbon footprint and no
exploitation of limited natural resources.
Independent - With a solar power system installed you will have hot water, lighting
and use of certain appliances even during blackouts and load shedding.
Save, Save, Save!!!
Why use LED lighting?
Lighting accounts for a large part of the average electricity bill.
Lighting can be as take up over 30% percent of your electricity usage.
In the long run that saves you a lot of Money!!
You will save on electricity and have to purchase fewer bulbs.
Thus low-energy lighting alternatives such as LED lights can save you a lot of money.
LED lights also have other advantages.
- LEDs have a long life time lasting 10,000-50,000 hours.
- LEDs are by far more efficient and so consume less energy.
- LEDs produce more light per Watt.
- LEDs are smaller. So LED lights can have many LEDs and be brighter.
- LEDs are not as easily damaged if knocked or dropped.
- LEDs can produce any colour light with out using filters that dim the light.
- LEDs switch on and off quickly.
- LED lifespan is not reduced by frequent switching on and off.
- LEDs emit very little heat (and so don't damage sensitive displays).
- LEDs do not suddenly fail (instead light intensity eventually declines).
- LEDs are dimmable.
- LEDs emit very little CO2 (unlike incandescent lighting)
- LEDs do not contain toxic mercury (unlike CFL lighting)
Incandescent bulbs are already being phased out and being replaced by LED lights.
South Africa is facing a critical power shortage and energy consumption will need to be reduced.
You can even link your outdoor lighting to a solar panel so that it needs
no electricity input at all! Check out our solar-powered lighting systems.
